Is it possible to use a 120-240V step up transformer with an electric range when a house is only wired for 120V and if so how?

You DO NOT NEED A TRANSFORMER!!! You Have 220 Volts Commint Into Your Breaker Box. Install A 50 Amp 2 Pole Breaker And Run A Circuit With 6 Guage Romex Wire To The Stove. You May Need To Go Under The House Or Whatever To Reach The Stove But Do It This Way. You won't have the capacity

What is the minimum safe distance from a house and an electric transformer?
10 ft.
Is it possible put a 33 kv to 400 v electric transformer inside an apartment building?
Yes, many large buildings are built with electrical vaults to house the electrical distribution system. The high voltage enters the building usually underground, where it connects to a transformer. The secondary side of the transformer is connected to a distribution system where the supply voltage is then sent to the individual apartment sub panels.
What type of transformer is found outside a residential house?
Stepdown Transformer.
When was Adams Power Plant Transformer House created?
Adams Power Plant Transformer House was created in 1895.
To moderate the high voltage of currents entering a house from power lines a is used?
transformer YES but transmission is 475kv and distribution is 16kv and finally one phase out of a transformer on a pole or on the ground. An electric switch yard will have transformers to reduce to distribution voltage.
What do they replace when upgrading from 60 amp to 100amp?
Usually you just have to replace the electric panel and maybe the electric meter and entrance cable. It would be unusual, but the power company may want to replace the cable from the local transformer to your house.
What is the minimum safe distance from a house and an electric transformer 13.8 KV?
The transformer enclosure should isolate the transformer sufficiently from the environment. I believe OSHA specifies 2 feet, 1 inch as the minimum appoach distance to 13.8kV, so I suppose a transformer could be put this close to a building and still be safe. My guess is there are codes in place in your local area that prevent this and specify some greater distance.
What does a dashed arrow mean in a flow chart?
An arrow is used in a flowchart because it links one part to another. For example, a flow chart describing the process of electric energy: [Power plant] ---> [Transformer] ---> [Power lines] ---> [Transformer] ---> [House] ---> [Transformer] ---> [Device] As you can see, the arrows show the direction of where the flow chart is leading, telling the viewer where to begin, and where the to.
Which type of transformer is found outside a residential house?
In North America the transformer outside your home is classed as a step down transformer. It steps down a higher voltage (14000) to the split house working voltage of (120/240).
Can electricity be lost when the utility switches out the meter?
It is not entirely clear to me what you are asking, however I will answer the question I think you want the answer for. When the electric company technician unplugs the old kilowatt hour meter that will disconnect the electric power from your house of business. When the electric company technician plugs in the new kilowatt hour meter that will reconnect the electric power to your house of business. For his own safety before switching the meters the electric company technician will probably disconnect the electric power from your house of business on the power pole or in the utility transformer box before beginning the work. So, yes you will have no electric power while this work is being done.
