No. Transformer essentially can step up or step down voltage or provide same voltage across the secondary side. It can not generate voltage on its own. Generator is essentially a rotating device. Transformer is a static device.

What is a generator bus?

A generator bus is the bus that connects the generator to it's generating transformer.

Which device you use to increase voltage from 220V to 11000V?

If it is AC, a transformer. If it is DC, a motor generator.


Can you use a transformer to go from 3 phase generator to single phase?

Rephrase your question. As it stands, it makes no sense.


What would be minimum capacity of transformer betweed generator and 220 kV transmission line system?

At a minimum, the main step up transformer for a generator should carry 105% of the full MW output of the generator.


Will using a transformer to convert 230V to 12V DC consume more energy than using a few capacitors and resistors without a transformer?

no, the transformer is much more efficient <><><> HOWEVER- a transformer only changes the voltage of AC current- it does not change it to DC. You will still need diodes or rectifiers. You can also use a motor/generator- a 230v AC motor turns a 12 v DC generator.


How do you increase the amount of current created by a generator?

You can use a transformer to increase the current. Note that this will also decrease the voltage. The total energy will not increase; it will decrease slightly, due to losses in the transformer.


Is transformer an amplifier?

No. In an amplifier, Power Out > Power in. In a transformer Power Out ~= Power In (minus internal losses). An AC generator is more like an amplifier than a transformer.


What is generator BCT?

BCT usually stands for bushing current transformer.


What is a static transformer?

It's a transformer that operates with AC current in and out. It's an ordinary transformer, with the term "static" used to differentiate it from rotating transformers, such as motor-generator sets.


How do you find capacity of transformer?

If the load is single equipment, calculating the capacity of the generator or transformer is fairly straight forward. If the load is mix of various several different equipment it would be more complicated to arrive at transformer / Generator capacity. Complexity increases if you have to estimate some future unknown loads. The rating of the generator or transformer should be such that it is loaded optimally, average being say 80 to 95 %. Since maximum efficiency of generator or transformer generally occur at these range. Also this ensures that it is not overloaded continuously and there is room for occasional short time full load too. You need to check the data sheet of the transformer or generator for more correct information. One need to know the maximum load or peak load, average load and diversity factor and load factor. These values drive the decision on the rating of the transformer or Generator.


How do i convert from 380 volts to 220 volts?

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.
