isolation
if you are in the usa and must service electronics the neutral is grounded
the power supply is a voltage doubler one side is 170v+ to ground
the other is 170v negative to ground
so if you run the power thru the transformer first you stand a better chance of staying alive
these Transformers are quite often used to trigger scrs or triacs for the same reason
Such a transformer is called an 'isolation transformer' and, as its name implies, is used to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit.
An isolating transformer.
A transformer primary of 1200 turns with a secondary of 400 turns is a ratio of 3 to 1.
Transformer turns ratio is the ratio of voltages between two windings. For instance, a 24VAC control transformer that runs on 120VAC will have a turns ratio about 5 to 1.
with an ideal electrical transformer with an input current of 2 amps and an output current of 1 amp what is the turns ratio of the secondary and primary coils
ratio of secondry voltage to primary voltage is called voltage transformation ratio
The properties of an 'ideal' transformer are (1) voltage ratio equals turns ration, (2) no losses.

a: 1:1 ratio its only purpose is to isolate
Count the turns ratio of the windings. The voltage ratio is equal to the turns ratio. The current ratio is equal to the inverse of the turns ratio. For instance, a power transformer with a 10:1 turn ratio (primary to secondary) running on 120V will produce 12V. If it consumes 1 ampere from the input, it will provide 10 amperes to the output.
ratio of secondry voltage to primary voltage is called voltage transformation ratio
It is the number of turns of copper wire on one side of an iron transformer core to the number of turns on the opposite side of the same iron transformer core. eg. 100 turns on the primary to 25 turns on the secondary is the ratio of 4:1
The properties of an 'ideal' transformer are (1) voltage ratio equals turns ration, (2) no losses.
It depends on the type of transformer.If it is a step up transformer the number of turns in secondary side is higher than primary.Stepdown means it will have fewer number of windings on the secondary side turns when compared with the primary side.An isolation transformer has the same number of windings on the primary as the secondary.The ratio of the windings is proportional to the increase or decrease in the secondary voltage. For example, twice the windings doubles the voltage and 1/2 the windings halves the secondary voltage. The isolation transformer is denoted as 1:1 and has the same voltage on the secondary as the primary.The ratio of secondary turns to primary turns is the same as the ratio of secondary voltage to primary voltage.e.g. if the secondary to primary turns ratio is 1/10, then the secondary voltage will be one tenth of the primary voltage.
The secondary voltage of a transformer with a turns ratio of 5 to 1, and primary voltage of 200 is 40. (5 to 1)
A current transformer is just a transformer designed to dutifully give an output related to turns ratio 1:xx.
If it's a step up or step down transformer and you know the secondary side current, multiply the secondary current by the turns ratio. If you know the power in the secondary winding but not the current, divide the secondary power by the secondary voltage to get the secondary current and then multiply the secondary current by the turns ratio to get the primary current. The turns ratio is the number of turns on the secondary winding divided by the number of turns on the primary winding. For a step up transformer, the turns ratio will be greater then one. If it's a step down transformer, then the turns ratio will be less than one. If you don't know the turns ratio, divide the secondary voltage by the primary voltage to get the turns ratio.
