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 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 a set down and a set up transformer?

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.

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.


Why transformer is used?
