It would be helpful if you could provide more information about what transformer you are using and what equipment is being powered.
You are correct that if a transformer is used to step down a voltage, the secondary current will be higher than the primary current. After all, in an ideal transformer Vs/Vp = Ip/Is. I think where you are getting confused is about the actual values of the primary and secondary currents. The secondary current will be dictated by the amount of current your equipment draws. The transformer cannot source more current than your equipment draws. If there is nothing connected to the secondary side of the transformer, the secondary current will be zero.
If you ensure the secondary voltage of the transformer is within the acceptable input voltage range for your equipment, and the transformer can handle the load, your equipment shouldn't be damaged by high currents.
Or else, I'm completely misunderstanding your question:wink:
