1 A transformer that increases the voltage is called a step-up transformer. 2  A transformer that decreases the voltage is called a step-down transformer. 3  Step-down transformers are used in mains adapters and rechargers for mobile phones and CD players. 4  Transformers do not work with dc direct current: Also called 'DC'. transformer changes a high-voltage supply into a low-voltage one, or vice versa. 1  A transformer that increases the voltage is called a step-up transformer. 2  A transformer that decreases the voltage is called a step-down transformer.
