Once you know which two wires have the voltage for the tap you want, simply connect one power wire to the wire on our transformer with the voltage tap you want, and the other power wire to the wire on our transformer labeled “Comm”. It doesnt matter which phase goes to which wire.
Yes, you can use the transformer in reverse, but note that the ratio is usually adjusted up by 5-10% to allow for the voltage loss under rated load due to winding resistance. When you use it in reverse, that will result in a lower output voltage than expected.

Yes You can. Step down transformer is step up if you swap the primary with Secondry. But power & voltage level should be same for respective windings.
What happens if you connect the wrong wires on a light fixture?
But heres the catch: If you connect the circuit wires to the wrong terminals on an outlet, the outlet will still work but the polarity will be backward. When this happens, a lamp, for example, will have its bulb socket sleeve energized rather than the little tab inside the socket.
The main difference between the step-up and step-down transformer is that the step-up transformer increases the output voltage, while the step-down transformer reduces the output voltage.
Transformers are classified by their function, which is either step up or step down. Step-up transformers increase the voltage of the incoming current, while step-down transformers decrease the incoming currents voltage.
If the input supply is supplied on the low-voltage winding, it becomes a step-up transformer. On the other hand, if the input power is supplied on the high voltage winding, the transformer becomes a step-down transformer.
In all transformers, the H terminals are always the high voltage terminals and the X terminals are always the low voltage terminals. Either can be designated primary or secondary depending on which is the source and which is the load.
