You'll need to decide *which* one you want.

An impedance-matching transformer has a defined primary-to-secondary turns ratio.

This *may* give the level match that you want, it may not.

Alternately, you can design for a level match, which also *may* give the impedance ratio you want, it may not. It also has a defined turns ratio, but this may not meet an impedance-matching requirement.

For impedance matching find the ratio of impedances, take its square root, and use that as the turns ratio:

2400 ohms to 600 ohms has an impedance ratio of 4:1, so its turns ratio will be (sqrt4) = 2:1.

To level-shift 1.23 volts (+4 dB) to 300 mV (-10 dB), the ratio is (1.23/0.3) approx 4:1.

From the above, you could match 2400 ohms to 600 ohms, but *not* +4 dB to -10 dB with the one transformer.

The purpose of transformer percentage impedance?

Inherently, the actual impedance seen at the secondary voltage will be different than that seen at the primary voltage. To make things easy, we use symmetrical components, where transformers are reduced to a p.u. (per unit) impedance. 100 x p.u. is equivalent to the percentage impedance you are referring to. When converted to per unit, a transformer has one impedance, not two, so it does not matter whether you are looking through the transformer from the secondary or the primary.


What are three requirement for connecting the transformer in paralle?

Transformer capacity (kvA) shall be identical, Both transformer impedance, secondary voltage and frequency shall be identical.


What is percentage impedance?

In electrical engineering, the percentage impedance of a transformer is the voltage drop on a full load, which is expressed as a percentage of the specified rated voltage. It's measured by conducting a short circuit test.


What is the difference between Ohm and Ohm CT in impedance of an audio transformer?

The side of the transformer that has the ohm CT which translates into a winding on the transformer that has a center tap . This side of the transformer was likely attached directly to the audio output transistors set up in push pull configuration. This is what the center tap is for. This side of the transformer would have a higher impedance and is directly driven by the power supply to provide amplification The transformer also isolates the amplifier voltage from the other side which is of low impedance. This may be in the range of 8 to to 16 ohms which would be directly tied to a speaker.


If impedance of power transformer is increase from 8 to 10 percentage then what will effect?

if the designed value of percentage impedance is change, for general this should affect tow things * if the percentage impedance is decrease this should increase the fualt level current *if the percentage impedance is increase this should increase the transformer losses and tempreture rise so the designed value of percentage impedance is determined according IEC if it is less than or equal 10% the margin should be + or_ 15%, if it is more than 10% the margin should be + or _ 15% so the percentage impedance of this transformer is not accepted according IEC standers

How do you convert percent impedance of transformer to impedance value?

The apparent impedance looking into a transformer from one side will not be the same as looking in it from the other, which is why percent impedance is used. If you are looking from the high voltage winding (I'm labeling #1) to the low voltage winding (#2), you must scale the percent impedance as follows: (% impedance) x (Winding #1 nominal voltage)^2 / (transformer base VA)


What are the advantages of Transformer coupling method?

transformer coupling ensures maximum power transfer is obtained even if the output impedance is not equal to the load impedance


What is the effect of transformer impedance on regulation?

The lower the impedance, the lower the voltage drop across the transformer as it is loaded. This means regulation is better, since voltage variance is smaller.


How a transformer can be used as impedance matching?

If the line impedance is Z0 and the load is ZL then connect the load using a transformer with N turns ration. N=sqrt(Z0/ZL)


What is the effect of low impedance transformer on regulation?

The lower the impedance, the lower the voltage drop across the transformer as it is loaded. This means regulation is better, since voltage variance is smaller.


What is the relationship between frequency and the size of a transformer?

Basically the characteristics of a transformer depends on the impedance(resistance) and on the coupling of its primary and secondary coils. The impedance of a coil depends on the frequency, as the frequency increases you need less volume of iron core and less number of turns in the coil for a given impedance, then reducing the size of the transformer.

What is impedance of transformer?

The transformer impedance is the amount of voltage applied for transformer during the load test.Answer.I really don't agree with the answer given by the previous user.Impedance is the total vector opposition offered by the transformer to the flow of current i.e the vector sum of its pure resistance (R) and it's inductive reactance (XL). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedanceAnother AnswerThe 'impedance' of a transformer is usually expressed as a 'percentage impedance', which is defined (perhaps rather confusingly!) as the ratio of the primary voltage that will result in the full rated current flowing through the secondary, to the rated primary voltage.

Why is a transformer necessary?

A transformer is not 'necessary'. The human race evolved, and developed cultures, societies, disease resistance, and technology, without ever seeing a transformer. But there are specific situations in which desirable things can be accomplished much more effectively and efficiently with a transformer than with any other device or method. Here are a couple of examples: -- If the voltage you have available is not the voltage you need, then you can use a transformer to make the change. (But that only works for AC.) -- You can use a transformer to change the output impedance of an amplifier to the impedance of the speaker or earbuds you want to use with it.
