Can you use a step down transformer as a step up transformer by reversing the secondary voltage as a primary voltage?

Yes a Tesla coil or ignition coil is an example.


How many coils does a autotransformer have?

only single coil is use as a primary and secondary coil in a auto transformer.


What is meant by a primary coil and a secondary coil?

In a transformer, the primary coil is the coil that has voltage applied to it. The secondary coil is the coil that we take voltage from. Transformers are used to step up voltage, step down voltage, or simply to isolate circuits.


Does a 3 phase motor starter with a 120 volt coil need a neutral to the coil?

Usually for this type of installation there is a control transformer installed in the starter enclosure. The primary of the transformer is the motors line voltage and the secondary is the control voltage which is usually 120 volts. In Canada the control transformer needs fusing on the secondary side of the transformer. In the US the transformer needs fusing on the primary and secondary sides of the transformer. The secondary side of the transformer's terminals are labeled X1 and X2. The X2 lead is grounded to the starter's enclosure. From this point out the wire is then termed the circuit's neutral wire. This wire then connects to one side of the magnetic starters draw in coil. Yes, 120 volt coil would require a neutral, this could be derived from the control transformer if it has one or from an external source.


What does N1 mean in electrical transformers?

Represents the number of coil turns on the primary side of the transformer.

Yes. For any problem or short circuit on LT side there are lot of chances for HT winding to get affected. Usaually the weakest point gets affected, it may be tap changer or the HV Windings. Electrix Vishnu


What is uses of tapped coil?

If question is about a transformer's tapped coil then the taps are a way of getting different voltages from one transformer. The end of the transformer's coil is the common point and the taps to this common point will give different voltages depending on where in the coil the taps are taken from.
