Step-down transformer is used at grid substations for feeding various substations which further step down the voltage for feeding distributing transformers and further step down transformers are used to supply the voltage for the consumer uses
If these are the exact voltages that you need you will need an auto transformer to obtain these voltages. If these voltages are nominal voltages and are of a three phase four wire configuration, the 220 voltage can be obtained from the three phase legs to the neutral (ground) connection. The equation to use is 400/1.73 = 231 volts.
The frequency is dependant upon what electrical grid that you are connecting the transformerto. If you are connected to a 50 Hz grid, the transformer will output a voltage at 50 Hz. The same thing with the 60 Hz grid, the transformer will output a voltage at 60 Hz.
If you have a 220v three phase delta system, the phase-to-phase voltage is 220v single phase; hence, no conversion is necessary. Don't worry about 220-240v rating, the voltage rating is nominal. Your 110v single phase has actually already be taken from a center-tapped transformer on your three phase system.
The transformer operates in reverse. In other words, a step-down transformer becomes step-up, and vice-versa. Example: a transformer with a 480 volt primary and 120 volt secondary: Ratio = 4:1 (480/120=4) Fed in reverse - Ratio = 1:4 Apply 120 volts, output is 480. Note that if you accidentally reverse the transformer, still feeding it with 480 volts, the output would be 1920 volts (480 X 4 = 1920) - probably not a good thing!
Step down transformer.
To change the voltage of a 12-volt battery to a 6-volt output, you can use a voltage regulator or a step-down transformer. A voltage regulator will reduce the voltage to the desired 6 volts, while a step-down transformer will step down the voltage from 12 volts to 6 volts. Both options will help you achieve a stable 6-volt output.
A transformer can step up or step down AC voltage
The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.
The instruction for changing the taps on a transformer can be found on the transformers nameplate. These taps will be on the primary side of the transformer. Each tap position will state what the voltage will be on the output when the individual tap is selected.
What has to be taken into account is what the primary and secondary voltages of the transformer are. The second thing to consider is whether the transformer is a step up or step down transformer. Just putting 250 volts on a transformer could burn the windings if the transformer is not the correct voltage.
An example would be if you had a oil furnace, the ignition system would be a step up transformer. The step up 120 volt to 15000 volt transformer is used to ignite the fuel that comes out of the nozzle under high pressure to make the fuel burn.

No. There are no "adaptors". To get 240V from a 120v supply you use a 120-240V step up transformer. <><><> Clothes dryers, water heaters and and other high-power 240 volt appliances cannot be run on a transformer from a 120 volt circuit. They must be powered from a separate branch circuit that has the right size breakers, cable and socket outlet to suit the appliance.
The secondary winding's current rating is the rated apparent power of the transformer (expressed in volt amperes) divided by its voltage rating (expressed in volts). This applies to both step down, and step up, transformers.
The type of transformer that can convert from microvolts to volts is a step-up transformer. This transformer increases the voltage level from the input side (microvolts) to the output side (volts) using electromagnetic induction. Step-up transformers are commonly used in power distribution systems to increase voltage for long-distance transmission.
You can use a transformer to step down the voltage from 440 volts to 380 volts. Make sure to use a transformer that is rated for the required input and output voltage, and have a qualified electrician perform the installation for safety.
