Measure the primary inductance with the secondary open. Then use 6.28FL (F= frequency, L=henries) to find the reactance in ohms (unless it's a tiny transformer the dc resistance can be ignored). Once that's found use ohm's law I=V/R. If you don't have an LCR meter simply measuring no-load current will also work. If you have no meters you're in for alot of guess work as you need to know the permeability of the core material at the particular flux density/voltage it normally runs at.

What is the current in 1KVA Transformer?

Tis question is incompleet.1000 va =1 kva.This is the power capacity of transformer. A transformer having 2 currents Primary current and secondary current . for that we required both voltage. Simply we can calculate by a formula Voltage x Current x 0.8(power factor)=1000.


How can calculate amps for 12v 50w halogen lamp?

The formula for current is Amps = Watts/Volts. The lamp itself would draw 4.16 amps. Since the voltage of the lamp is 12 volts there is a internal transformer involved in the fixture itself. It doesn't matter what the input (primary) voltage to the transformer is, so long as it meets the manufacturer's specification as to the proper voltage to operate the fixture.


How can calculate amps for 12V 50W halogen lamp in 230V input?

It would be pretty much undefined, since the filament of the halogen bulb would fail immediately then there would be an open circuit with no current draw. <<>> The formula for current is Amps = Watts/Volts.

What is the formula to calculate secondary current?

The secondary current is calculated by dividing the secondary current by the impedance of the load. This value shouldn't exceed the secondary-winding's rated current except for short periods of time.


What is the Formula to calculate KVA?

(volts x amps)/1000AnswerThe 'volt ampere' (V.A) is the unit of measurement for apparent power of a load, and is the product of the supply voltage and the load current. To convert volt amperes into kilovolt amperes, divide by 1000.

How do you calculate primary curuent?

Current is calculated on the load. If your question on transformer primary current, then use the formula N1I1=N2I2, where N1 and N2 are primary and secondary coil turns and I1 and I2 are current in respective coils. This is very basic simple formula. You have reframe your question more specifically.

What formula would be used to convert at current transformer rating at 60Hz to 25Hz?

I don't understand your question. Are you asking how to convert from 60hz to 25hz using a transformer? That cannot be done. Frequency in = frequency out.


What is the formula to calculate the percentage of weight loss?

The formula to calculate the percentage of weight loss is: (Initial weight - Current weight) / Initial weight x 100.


How do I calculate wattage?

To calculate wattage, you need to multiply the voltage (V) by the current (I). The formula is: Wattage (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (I). This formula applies to electrical circuits where the voltage is known and the current is flowing.


Does the formula used to calculate the turns ratio uses the phase voltages and phase current?

No, the turns ratio formula calculates the ratio of the primary to secondary winding turns on a transformer using the number of turns on each winding. Phase voltages and currents are not directly used in this calculation.


How can you calculate current when you have volts power?

Divide Watts by Volts ; this gives you Amps.


How can one calculate a salary increase based on inflation?

To calculate a salary increase based on inflation, you can use the formula: New Salary Current Salary (Current Salary x Inflation Rate). This formula takes into account the current salary and the rate of inflation to determine the new salary amount.
