	What is a Step Down Transformer? Devices that are used to step down electrical current at input power sources, which allows voltage to be compatible with equipment.
	Voltage Transformers Transformers that are designed for specific applications that need specified electrical voltage.
	Step Up Transformers A transformer that has the secondary winding higher than the primary allowing the transformer to increase input voltage.
	Power Transformers Devices that convert the incoming line voltage to a higher or lower electrical current to match voltage of equipment.
	Three Phase Transformers Transformers that are used throughout industry to change values of three phase voltage and current.
	Isolation Transformers Transformers that transfer energy from the alternating current supply to an electrical load.  They prevent certain types of harmonics.
	Buck Boost Transformers Buck Boost devices are used to make small adjustments to incoming voltages such as lighting applications.
	Phase Converters Devices that convert single phase power into three phase power.
	Acme Transformers Acme Transformers is an industrial leader offering superior service, quality products and technical service.
	Ace Phase Converters Ace Phase Converter has been in business for 25 years and their professional and experienced engineering staff can assist you with your phase converter application requirements.

Step Up Transformers

A step up transformer works due to the secondary voltage being greater than the primary voltage.  When the secondary voltage is greater, it steps up the voltage input  at the power source.


To get a better understanding of this, you will need to know how the transformer works.  A transformer is made up of two coils or more of insulated wire, which is wound around a core made of iron.  The transformer changes the voltage by the number of times the wires are wrapped around the core.  If the primary winding has fewer turns than the secondary winding, the device becomes a step up transformer that will increase electrical voltage.  When voltage is applied to one coil, which is called the primary or input, it magnetizes the iron core.  This process induces a voltage in the other core, which is called the secondary or the output.  When buying a step up transformer, always seek a quality manufacturer.  One of the most reputable is TEMCo Step Up Transformers.  They offer quality transformers with a superb customer service staff.


A good example on how step up and step down transformers are used is in our power plants.  Power or electricity is produced at power plants and sent to a step up transformer.  It then changes the low voltage electricity to high voltage current.  The reason for stepping up the voltage is that the power company needs to produce higher voltage to send it through long distance transmission lines.  The lines carry the electricity to substations, where the voltage is lowed by the use of a step down transformer.  Electricity is then distributed to homes and businesses with the correct voltages.


One thing import to understand, transformers can not stabilize voltage variations. They transfer the current at a fixed ratio and cannot sense changes.  You would have to use a phase converter or frequency converter to stabilize voltage variations.

Always remember, when purchasing a step up transformer, seek out a more reputable and experienced manufacturer such as  Acme Step Down Transformers.  A quality manufacturer will save you money in the long run and will provide you with many years of quality service.

Step Down Transformers come in sizes as small as thumb nails to as large as big power grid units.
