Question:

can we increase the current using transformer?

can the amps rate be increased by using transformer from 10amps to 120amps.

Answer:

If you mean a 10 amp transformer, I hope you like the smell of burning insulation. However, you could re-wind the transformer to use one twelfth the number of secondary turns, using wire with twelve times the cross sectional area.
Transformers can increase or decrease the current, they can also do the same to the voltage. So yes transformers can increase the current but it will decrease the voltage at the same time. Hope this helps!
