Transformers rated 1 KVA and larger single phase,3 KVA and larger three phase can be reverse connected without any adverse effects or loss in KVA capacity. The reason for this limitation in KVA size is, the turns ratio is the same as the voltage ratio. On transformers rated below 1 KVA single phase, there is a turns ratio compensation on the low voltage winding. This means the low voltage winding has a greater voltage than the name plate voltage indicates at no load. Terminals on a single wound transformer, primary side are labeled H1,and H2 and on the secondary side X1 and X2. Just reverse the input voltage to the X1 and X2 terminals and the take the load off of the H1 and H2 side.

JordanA transformer is made from two or more coils of wire wound around an iron core. When some voltage is applied to one of the coils it magnetizes the iron core, which induces a voltage in the other coil. There is a turns ratio where of the two sets of windings determines the amount of voltage transformation.
a step up transformer makes a voltage higher than before it does this by having more turns on the secondary coil then the primary coil.
a step down transformer makes a voltage lower then it was before it reaches it, it does this by having less turns on the secondary coil then the primary coil.

Device used to step voltage up or down?
As transformers do not work with DC., the answer is a voltage divider network (step down) or a voltage multiplier network (step up).
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
Why transformer is used?
A transformer used to step up or down the value of voltage.
What will happen to frequency of current when voltage is changed using a step up or step down transformer?
Frequency does not change when you use a step-up or step-down transformer. Only current and voltage is changed.
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.
