A: Forgetting about the iron which is most important. If the input is 120 volts an you require 12 volts output then the ratio is 1:01 is this enough? NO the 12 volts what current is required? and the primary cannot be 10 turns to get the 12 volts output 1:01 ten turn of 22 gauge wire will burn up instantly with 120volts applied. The design of a transformer is very complex because the transfer is really power to a different level.

How do you find the secondary to primary transformer voltage ratio?

Turns Ratio = (Primary turns / Secondary turns) To calculate the turns ratio you have to actually know the number of turns or wraps on the primary and secondary coils. Nobody knows that usually the manufacture of the transformer doesn't even know. So what you can use as and equivalent is to calculate the voltage ratio. So what you typically need to look for is the Input voltage and divid it by the output volatge. Usually that would be as follows; (Primary Voltage/Secondary Voltage) = Voltage Ratio


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.


How should I calculate this. A single phase transformer is rated at 99kVA The primary voltage is 6.6kV and the secondary voltage is 220V Assume no losses and calculate The full load primary current?

First find the ratio of the transformer. 6600/220 volts. Second find the secondary current, I = W/E, 99000/220. Third divide the secondary current by the transformer ratio. The answer will be the primary current. To check your answer (W (or VA) = V x A) multiply the primary current times the primary voltage and the secondary current times the secondary voltage and they should both equal the transformer's kVA.


Why is the wattmeter connected at the primary side of the transformer?

In general, you can install a wattmeter on the primary or the secondary side of a transformer (it depends what you are trying to measure). But if you are conducting an open- and short-circuit test (to find the transformer's losses), then the wattmeter is connected to the primary side because you want to measure the total (primary + secondary) losses and that is only achievable from the primary side.


What is the formula for calculating transformer voltage?

There are two kinds of transformers, autotransformers and isolation transformers. An autotransformer has one coil, an isolation transformer has at least two. To find the output voltage of a transformer, you need to know three things. First is the input voltage. Next are the number of turns on the primary coil, and last is the number of turns on the secondary coil. So! Our input voltage is going to be 120 in all three of the cases I'll give, and the number of turns on the primary coil will be 120--this makes the math easy, although you aren't restricted to putting 120 turns of wire in a 120v primary. You can put a million turns on if you want, and I've seen it. If our secondary has 12 turns, the output voltage will be 12--there is a 10:1 primary:secondary ratio. Normally this is called a "stepdown" transformer. It's used when the device requires less than line voltage to operate. A secondary with 120 turns will give a 120v output voltage. This is an "isolation" transformer. You use this as a safety device. Secondaries with 2500 turns give a 2500v output voltage--perfect for radio frequency amplifying tubes like the 4CX250A. For extra entertainment let's talk about the autotransformer for a minute. As I said above, this has one coil. It's tapped. If you've got 220v coming into a 220-turn coil and there's a tap at 110 turns, you're getting 110v out of it. Every soldier stationed in a country that uses 220v power buys one of these from the local post exchange so he can use the TV set he brought from home.

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.

A transformer has 520 turns in its secondary coil and a secondary output voltage of 480 volts The primary coil has 40 turns What is the primary voltage?

36.9 volts Explanation: A trafo works in ratios, much the same as percentage. Easily calculated in this question . 520 turns and 480 Volts secondary. We find the Voltage of each turn by dividing Voltage by turns. 480/520=0,9230769231 Volt. Then multiply this by primary turns of which is 40. 40*0,9230769231 =36,9230769231 Volts. More related info: This is the AC voltage. In order to find a quite accurate estimate for a rectified DC output with a charging capacitor, simply multiply the AC voltage by 1.44


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

What is the current in the secondary coil fi the current in the primary coil is 5.0A 10 loops on primary coil and 20 on secondary coil?

If I am not wrong then you have asked about a transformer. And its a current transformer. By theory of voltage transformer we know that Vs/Vp = Ns/Np So for answering your question we need the value of number of turns in primary and secondary coil. But you can use this equation to find your answer if you have other values. By using ohmic law you can convert voltage to current.


Every time you ask for how to find your primary and secondary dns the answer is always something about going to your DNS server hows that your primary and secondary DNS if its only one set of numbers?

It means, you do not have secondary DNS server.


What does primary and secondary source mean?

well, primary source is when you find something, by not using any evidence the man was reading a newspaper. secondary is when you find information from the primary source. the man found a newspaper add for a gardener. . . sorry it hard to explain xxx or...


Is secondary sources are easier to find than primary sources to evaluated integrity?

Secondary sources are generally easier to find than primary sources because they summarize or analyze information from primary sources. However, in terms of evaluating integrity, primary sources are generally considered more reliable as they provide firsthand information without interpretation or bias that may be present in secondary sources.

How can you find primary from secondary coil?

Primary and secondary are only terms of convenience based on the ratings and purpose of the transformer. If a transformer is labeled 120 to 240 volts, just pick a winding and apply 120 VAC. If the output is 240 volts you found the primary and secondary. If you apply 120 volts and get 60 volts out that means the side where you applied 120 VAC is the secondary.
