Solution
PS = 60 W, IS = 0.54 A, IP = ?
PS = VSIS
60 = VS × 0.54
`60/0.54` = VS
VS = 111.10 Volt
In multiple of 11
VS = 110 Volt
Ratio factor of transformer 'r` = output voltage/input voltage
`r = V_S/V_P` ⇒ `r = (110 "Volt")/(220 "Volt") = 1/2`
Or r < 1, so transformer is step down transformer.
In transformer, output power = input power.
ISVS = IPVP
`I_P = (I_SV_S)/V_P = (0.54 xx 110)/220`
IP = 0.27 ampere

Long distance power transmissions
The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.
