Where might a step-up transformer be used?

Answer 1

Determine the type you need (primary voltage, secondary voltage, power rating in volt amperes - not watts, size, etc.) then check a catalog at an electrical or electronics parts store for a standard transformer meeting your requirements. If you find one and the store stocks it, buy it; if not have them order it for you.

If there is no standard transformer meeting your requirements, one would have to have a company that custom winds Transformers design and build it for you. Unless you would be buying in quantity, this will be expensive.

Answer 2

Step up Transformers are used where the voltage being supplied through the primary line needs to be increased to a defined level to be supplied to the load.

Step up Transformers are basically used for enhancing the voltage level.

Answer 3

its a simple transformer which converts say 110volt 60hz ac current to 220 volt 60hz ac current. such change in magnitude of ac current from lower value to higher value is know as step up operation. if it vice versa then its called step down

Answer 4

Step up Transformer is used in the long distance transmission.

Here is the example :

The generating stations are located at favorable places, generally quite away from the cities. At the generating station , the A.C. generator produces moderate voltage (say 11kV). It is stepped up to a high voltage (say 220kV). Prior to transmission. The A.C. power is then transmitted at this high voltage . Upon arrival near the outskirts of the city ,the voltage is stepped down to convenient level (say 11kV).The 11kV lines are run through the city for further handling by sub stations located at various parts of the city.

Answer 5

A step-up transformer is commonly used in power transmission systems to increase the voltage of electricity for efficient long-distance transportation. It can also be found in welding machines, microwave ovens, and some types of audio equipment where higher voltage is needed.
