A winding is the name given each of the coils wound around the transformer's core. A basic transformer has two windings, termed the primary winding (connected to the supply) and the secondary winding (connected to the load).

A transformer 'winding' is simply one of its coils. A simple transformer has two windings. The winding connected to the supply is called its 'primary winding', while the winding connected to the load is called its 'secondary winding'.

What is LV winding of a transformer?

For a step-down transformer, its secondary winding will be the LV winding. For a step-up transformer, its primary winding will be its LV winding.


The insulation resistance of a transformer winding can be easily measured with?

It depends on the rated voltage of the transformer winding -are you talking about a 12-V transformer winding or a 400-kV transformer winding? Obviously, there is no one answer to your question!


The primary winding in a transformer is connected to the what?

The primary winding of a transformer is connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is connected to the load.


How could you convert step up transformer into step down transformer?

Injecting power into the higher voltage winding of a transformer will make it act as a step down transformer; injecting power into the lower voltage winding will make it act as a step up transformer. A transformer can be used both ways.


Is there more current in the primary or secondary winding of a transformer?

The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', describe how a transformer is connected and his nothing to do with which is the lower- and higher-voltage winding.The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. So, for astep-up transformer, the secondary winding is the higher voltage winding, whereas for a step-down transformer, the secondary winding is the lower voltage winding.For a loaded transformer, i.e. a transformer whose secondary is supplying a load, the higher-voltage winding carries the smaller current, while the lower-voltage winding carries the higher current.
