Do transformers work in both directions?
Yes you can use a transformer in reverse. The no part has to do with the transformer’s design. Secondary or output windings are low impedance to reduce losses and increase efficiency. You would need a transformer designed to step up 415V to 11kV.
How do you sync two transformers together?
As to the other possible question, synchronizing transformers to an existing power system is as simple as matching the number and order of phases, the distribution voltage and frequency and phase angle. However, most of those parameters are determined by the voltage source, and cannot be altered at the transformer.
Can transformers be reversed connected?
In general, distribution transformers can be reverse connected without de-rating the nameplates KVA capacity. HPS transformers under 6kVA three-phase and 3kVA single-phase, there is a “turns ratio compensation” on the low voltage winding.

What is the construction of a transformer used for?
This construction is used to help eliminate and reduce heating. Transformers generally have one of two types of cores: Core Type and Shell Type. These two types are distinguished from each other by the manner in which the primary and secondary coils are place around the steel core.
What is the difference between step up transformer and step down transformer?
When a transformer is used to “increase” the voltage on its secondary winding with respect to the primary, it is called a Step-up transformer. When it is used to “decrease” the voltage on the secondary winding with respect to the primary it is called a Step-down transformer.
What is the difference between autotransformer and two winding transformer?
An autotransformer is initially cheaper than a similarly-rated two-winding transformer. It also has better regulation (smaller voltage drops), and greater efficiency. Furthermore, it can be used to obtain the neutral wire of a three-wire 240/120-volt service, just like the secondary of a two0winding transformer.
What is an isolation transformer and how does it work?
You probably don’t know it, but your mains supply is most likely provided to you via an isolation transformer. In the electrical substation that feeds your home lurks a huge chunk of copper and iron (the transformer) that takes relatively high voltage electrical power and converts this to our recognised 230-240V voltage that we all know.
