A step-up transformer is a type of transformer that converts the low voltage (LV) and high current from the primary side of the transformer to the high voltage (HV) and low current value on the secondary side of the transformer. The reverse of this is known as a step down transformer.
What is the use of step up transformer?
Step Up transformers are used in electronic equipment like inverters, batteries & stabilizers to balance the low voltage to the higher voltage in the Transformers. They are also used in electrical power transmission.
Which type of transformer is used for step up?
A transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is greater than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-up transformer. The step-up transformer decreases the output current for keeping the input and output power of the system equal.
