step-up transformer

Definitions

Construction

• An electric device that used to convert a power supply to a higher

  voltage

  circuit.

Electronics

• A transformer whose

  output voltage

  is higher than its input

  voltage

  . A

  secondary winding

  of such a transformer has more turns than the

  primary

  . Such a transformer may have multiple

  secondary

  windings. Used, for instance, to increase the voltage of electricity as it leaves the

  power generating station

  and enters the transmission system. The output voltage of a step-down transformer is lower than its input voltage. Also spelled stepup transformer.
