Set down transformer are also referred to step down Transformers. They are used in regulating the electrical voltage before it can be used to feed a house.

While step up transformer are mainly found in the generation stations to improve the voltage generated by the turbine.

Thanks.

Why is a set up transformer needed in a stereo or tv set?

A stereo or tv set needs a step-up transformer because a step-up transformer increases the voltage of an appliance and a stereo or and a tv set needs a high voltage.-------Semper Fidelis(ADC)----------


What is the difference between ideal transformer and practical transformer?

There are basically 4 major differences :- 1. The windings (both primary and secondary) of an ideal transformer are considered to have zero resistance, hence the transformer is lossless. 2. There is no leakage flux in an ideal transformer. 3. The permiability of the core material in ideal transformer is considered to be tending to infinity and hence the current needed to set up the flux in the transformer is negligible. 4. There is zero hysterisis and eddy current losses in an ideal transformer.


Is a transformer load inductive or capacitive?

A transformer is fundamentally a set of coils; therefore, a transformer is an inductive load. However, by "transformer load", you seem to mean "the load that is connected to a transformer". Whether that load is inductive or capacitive depends mostly on what is hooked up to the transformer.


What is the use of bucholz relay in transformer?

A Buchholz relay is located in an inclined pipe between a tranformer's tank and its expansion tank. It has two purposes: (1) to set off an alarm in the event of a loss of oil or the formation of an excessive amount of gas bubbles (likely caused by minor arcing between the turns of a winding), and (2) to disconnect the transformer in the event of a continued loss of oil, or a catastrophic fault within the transformer.


How you using ref relay in transformer?

an REF relay (restricted earth fault) is used to provide ground fault protection for a transformer. Its' operation is limited by CTs starred towards the transformer (usually on the transformer bushings or in breakers used to isolate the transformer), so it will only operate for transformer related faults. Because of this, it can be set to operate very quickly.

What is the different between et up and set down transformer?

the difference between a step up transformer and a step down transformer is that, in a tsep up transformer, the voltage secondary is greater than the primary side but in a step down transformer, the voltage secondary is lesser than the primary side


What is the difference between step up and step down?

in transformers for instance a stepup transformer does exactly that, steps up the voltageAND/OR theamperage and a step down transformer reduces the same. if you have a machine that operates on say 120 volts alternating current single phase and your building or power supply in your buildingis set up for or delivers480 volts alternating current-three phase you will need a step down transformer to operate the machine.


How can you tell if a transformer is a set up or set down?

The same transformer can be both. It must be operated at the correct voltage on both windings.


What is a set down transformer?

A stp-down transformer steps voltage down from a high value to a low value. Transformers only work with AC.
