A step-down transformer has _____ number of turns on primary winding and _____ number of turns on secondary winding.

A. Less, More
B. More, More
C. More, Less
D. Less, Less

Answer 
C. More, Less

Explanation
  • A step-down transformer has less secondary winding than primary windings, this decreases the voltage from primary to secondary.
  • A step-down transformer is a type of transformer that converts the high voltage (HV) and low current from the primary side of the transformer to the low voltage (LV) and high current value on the secondary side of the transformer. The reverse of this is known as a step-up transformer.
  • A transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is less than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-down transformer. The number of turns on the primary of the transformer is greater than the turn on the secondary of the transformer.
  • The voltage turn ratio of the step-down transformer is 2:1. The voltage turn ratio determines the magnitude of voltage that transforms from primary to secondary windings of the transformer.
  •  It is used for electrical isolation, in a power distribution network, for controlling the home appliances, in a doorbell, etc.
