Step-down transformer 

  • A step-down transformer is used to decrease the voltage.
  • This transformer  increases the current level from primary to secondary
  • In a step-down transformer, the number of turns in the primary coil is More than the number of turns in the secondary coil.
  • Np > Ns,Ip < Is,Vp > Vs

Step-Up transformer 

  • The step-up transformer is used to increase the voltage.
  • In a step-up transformer the number of turns in the primary coil is less than the number of turns in the secondary coil.
  • This transformer  Decreases the current level from primary to secondary
  • N< Ns,Ip > Is,Vp < Vs
