The more coils you have on one side will increase the magnetic force
The primary side is usually labelled 'H', the secondary is often labelled 'L'.Primary wiring will often be smaller, since the current carrying capacity doesn't have to be as high on the primary side.The best thing to do would be to check with the manufacturer. They should have documentation stating what is primary and secondary.CommentThe above answer only applies to step-down transformers. The simple answer is that the primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, whereas the secondarywinding is the winding connected to the load. These terms have nothing to do with voltage levels.
The input voltage (primary) and output (secondary) of a transformer is determined by the manufacturer. Transformers are bought to accommodate the voltage that is needed on the primary side and to what voltage is needed on the secondary side.
A '33-kV transformer' is a three-phase primary-distribution transformer, used in the UK's electricity system to step down the 33-kV primary-distribution voltage to the 11-kV secondary-distribution voltage -the lowest voltage used in the high-voltage distribution system. These transformers are categorised as 'power transformers', and are located in what are termed 'primary substations'.
Primary electrical distribution carries medium voltage power to distribution transformers near the customers. Secondary electrical distribution transfers the power from the transformer to the households.
The tap changer changes the ratio of primary to secondary windings by physically adding or subtracting windings from the primary or secondary. An on load tap changer (LTC) allows dynamic voltage control, which is important when loading of transformers, and the system in general, varies (if the primary voltage sags, the LTC can be used to increase the secondary voltage so customers don't see this sag).
The more coils you have on one side will increase the magnetic force
The voltage induced into the secondary winding will be lower than the voltage applied to the primary winding. The primary winding being the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the one connected to the load.
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.
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.
The way to identify any transformer is to look at the the transformers nameplate. The primary side will be designated H1 to H4. This is the primary side and the voltage will be stated as to the voltage to connect to. The secondary side will be designated X1 to X4. This is the secondary side and the voltage will be stated as to the voltage it will be transformer to.
In a transformer, the primary coil is the coil that has voltage applied to it. The secondary coil is the coil that we take voltage from. Transformers are used to step up voltage, step down voltage, or simply to isolate circuits.
The secondary voltage.
By looking to the number of turns in the Primary and Secondary Coils. "A Step down transformers are designed to reduce electrical voltage. Their primary voltage is greater than their secondary voltage. This kind of transformer "steps down" the voltage applied to it."
it decreases the high input voltage of its primary winding to a voltage level on secondary winding suitable for usage
It's installed on the high-voltage side.
Voltage on primary/Primary turns = Voltage on secondary/Secondary turns
% voltage drop on full load from the secondary to the primary due to leakage reactance and the resistance of the windings.Answer'Percentage impedance' is a confusing term. It describes the value of primary voltage that will cause the rated secondary current to flow in the short-circuited secondary winding, expressed as a percentage of the rated primary voltage.
