To transmit a lot of electrical power, you either need a high voltage or a high current. But a higher current means your cables got hotter and you lose a lot of energy so is better to use higher voltage. To increase the voltage, we need to use a step up Transformers.
Step up transformers are transformers which has ability to increase the voltage and they have more turns on the secondary coil on the primary coil.

∙ 11y agotransformer which is used to increase the voltage .output voltage is higher than input voltage by connecting a step up transformer . mainly used at transmission end (sending side)

Note - it's the voltage that defines "step-up" or "step-down".

What is a transformer that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
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
When would you us a step-up transformer?
When the voltage need to be step up.
Is ct step up or step down?
'CT' is used to designate current transformers, and 'PT' is used to designate potential transformers. A current transformer provides a ratio of primary current to the secondary. A potential transformer provides a ratio of primary voltage to the secondary. A power transformer (step up or step down) resembles a PT more than a CT.
Why transformer is used?
A transformer used to step up or down the value of voltage.
Step up transformer is used to increase the?
A step up transformer is used to step up an AC voltage
What is the purpose of transforms?
A transformer is used to step up or step down a Voltage supply.
What is a transformer called that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
How do you produce a step-up transformer in an ordinary transformer?
Transformer function is either to step-up or down the voltage. There is nothing like an ordinary transformer.
What type of transfomer increases the voltage produced by the source?
step- up transformer
What is step up tranformer?
A step-up transformer is a transformer that increases voltage that is transferred through power lines.
Why transformer step-up energy?
They do not step up energy. They can step up voltage.
What is a transformer that increases voltage?
A transformer that increases voltage is a step-up transformer.
What is the transformer used in ups?
simple step up transformer
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 differences between a step-down transformer and a step-up transformer?
the main function of transformer is to change the magnitude of Voltage. difference between step up and step down is step up will change the input voltage into a larger magnitude of output while step down is vice versa
When is a step up transformer used in relationship as to when a step down transformer is used?
If the voltage needs to be increased from a lower voltage to a higher voltage a step up transformer is used. If the voltage needs to be lowered from a higher voltage to a lower voltage a step down transformer is used.
