Hi:I found a 10,000 WATTS STEP UP TRANSFORMER.Following are its characteristics: 1- 10,000 Watt Maximum Capacity Heavy-Duty Continuous Use Transformer. 2- Converts 110/120V upto 220/240 VoltsWhat will be its input?I means which battery or Generator i have to use for its input?Is it good idea to use that transformer to supply electricity to 1 house?
it's input is stated clearly as 110/120V, presumably 60Hz AC. You cannot use a battery to operate a transformer. If you have a generator that outputs the correct line voltage and frequency, you don't need a transformer. A transformer doesn't supply electricity, all it does is change the voltage. You are working with stuff you don't understand. You need to study basic electricity and electronics before you blow up your house.
input is 110~120 v i dunno about the power rating cuz its supposed to be rated in KVA which is the total active and reactive power, u r saying watts which is only the active power!!! a transformer cannot be loaded above 85% of its rating, it wont be safe! u cant transform battery electricity, cuz its DC, u need AC, my advice to you forget about the transformer and the generator and forget about electricity its fatal, knowledge is not enough, precautions and practice is wt this field is all about. consult any electrical engineer u know.
If you live in USA or Canada,electricity voltage is 115v. You may connect the two wire that mark with 120v into the house electric main power panel,use a 10 amperes breaker to protect your house power source if the transformer that you found is defective. The output shall produce 240v,it is good to run a stove or dryer,because they need 240v. Some country house does not have 240v source. If you live in other country that using 240v power source. You may use this tranformer to produce 120v to run some electronic device that buy from USA. Or you may join the 120v coil with the 240v coil in series to produce 360v .
