Best Answer

If a secondary voltage is given across a particular resistive load in a series of known resistive loads, multiply the voltage by the ratio of the total load to the measures load to get total voltage.

Example: You have a series of a 200 ohm resistor to a 100 ohm resistor. The votage measured across the 100 ohm is 2 volts. 200 + 100 = 300. 300 / 100 = 3. 2 X 3 = 6. Total Voltage in the circuit is 6V

Primary amperage is secondary amperage times secondary voltage divided by primary voltage. This ratio is the same as turns ratio.

What is the voltage phase shift between primary and secondary line voltages in star-delta transformer connection?

The voltage phase shift between primary and secondary connections in a transformer is 180 electrical degrees.


How the input voltage is changed to an output voltage in a transformer?

Transformers work on the induction principal of the flux of the primary winding cutting the wires of the secondary winding. The amount of turns in the primary in relationship to the amount of turns in the secondary is the transformers winding ratio. This ratio is what governs the voltage value of the secondary winding.


What coil will be greater if the primary coil of a transformer has 40 turns and the secondary coil has 60 turns?

The voltage ratio is 2:3. So for every 2 volts in you'll get 3 volts out. Secondary = 1.5 x Primary Voltage.


How step up transformer step up the input voltage?

It depends on the ratio of turns from primary to secondary.


Primary voltage is 5V and secondary is 30V the primary magnetic field is 15N what would the secondary magnetic field be?

This is a trick question. A transformer transforms voltage and currents. The magnetic field strength of 15 Newtons (a measurement of force, or power) is not changed - in other words what you put into a transformer (in terms of power) you get out the other side (minus losses). so 15N in, 15N out. You can also think of it this way: voltage is applied to the primary side, which induces a magnetic field. This magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary side. So the magnetic field produced in the primary side is the same magnetic field that produces the secondary voltage. Thus the answer is in the question - the magnetic field is 15N (there's only one).

Voltage on primary/Primary turns = Voltage on secondary/Secondary turns


How does the product of voltage and current in the primary compare with the product of voltage and current in the secondary?

The current in the secondary when the voltage is twice the primary will be one half of the primary. The current in the primary when the voltage is twice the secondary will be twice the secondary.


How do you determine ratio if only second voltage is given?

You can't. You need to know both the secondary and the primary voltages to determine the voltage (or turns) ratio.


How can find the primary turns of the transformer knowing the primary voltage of the transformer?

The ratio of the primary voltage to the secondary voltage is proportional to the ratio of windings. So if the primary voltage is 120 volts and the secondary is 240 volts there are twice as many turns in the secondary.AnswerAs the previous answer says, you can work out the turns ratio of a transformer, but knowing the primary and secondary voltages will not help you determine how many turns are on each winding.


If the voltage in a transformer is twelve volts and the primary coil has ten turns and the secondary coil has twenty what is the voltage across the secondary coil?

I assume the primary has 12 volts applied. The voltage ratio from primary / secondary is equivalent to the turns ratio = 10/20, so the primary voltage is 1/2 of the secondary voltage. The secondary voltage is 24.


Are number of turns on primary side and secondary side same in case of star star connections?

The number of primary and secondary turns, or turns ratio, determine the secondary voltage given a particular primary voltage. So, for instance, if the primary voltage is 480/277 wye, and the desired secondary voltage is 208/120 wye, the turns ratio would be 2.3:1. If the primary and secondary voltages are the same, then yes, the number of turns on primary and secondary would be the same. But if you're not converting delta to wye or vice-versa, why would you have a transformer with the same input and output voltage, other than an isolation transformer?


How do you find secondary voltage with a ratio of 1 to 200?

If the primary is 1 and the secondary 200 then multiply the primary voltage by 200.


What Device used to select amount of voltage in primary coil of step up transformer?

There is no selective device to determine the amount of voltage. A transformer is selected by the voltage available at the site for the primary and the load on the secondary side of the transformer.


If a transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings and the secondary voltage is 25 what is the primary voltage?

Transformer step-up/step-down voltage is turns-ratio, so if a transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings (a turns-ratio of 1 to 5) and the secondary voltage is 25, then is the primary voltage is 5.


What type of voltage is passed trough a transformer?

Voltage doesn't 'pass through' anything! Voltage is another word for 'potential difference', and is measured between two points in a circuit. For a transformer to work, it's necessary to apply an a.c. voltage across the transformer's primary terminals.


Why transformar primary refers to secondary?

All transformers contain both primary and secondary coils. The primary will refer to the secondary when the voltage is to high. As voltage increases, it passes down the power to the secondary for efficient distribution of power.
