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.

How do you measure the power input and power output for the step-up transformer?
Power input to a transformer = (voltage across the primary winding) x (current through the primary)Power output = (voltage across the secondary winding) x (current through the secondary)It doesn't matter whether the transformer is used in step-up, step-down or simple isolation.
What is the load side of a transformer?
The load side of a transformer feeds the device, such as a light or motor. It is the output of the transformer. The input, or line side, provides the voltage that is to be transformed, either up or down, to supply the load side.AnswerA transformer's primary winding is connected to the supply voltage, and the secondary winding is connected to the load.
What is an isolation transformer?
AnswerAn isolation transformer does not have a direct electrical path from the power input side to the power output side. The term is also used to define how much electrical isolation exists between the input and output windings. For example when using line-voltage input transformers to power low voltage device handled by humans, a high degree of isolation is required for safety.Isolated transformers often use separate bobbins for the primary and secondary coil windings, but usually the windings are just wound on top of each other with insulation in between.There is usually an electrostatic shield between windings which is tied to transformer case.Non-Isolated transformers are becoming rare. A common example is the "Variac" which is a non-isolated variable transformer. Usually the term "auto-transformer" is used to describe non-isolated transformers. They are rarely found in consumer products.Although any transformer with a separate primary and secondary winding is an isolation transformer to some extent, The term is usually used to denote a special-purpose transformer built just for that use. It is tested and rated to withstand a very high voltage difference, called the withstand voltage, so that even if thousands of volts are applied to the primary, it will not leak through to the protected side. These transformers are used in the medical industry, to protect patients hooked up to monitoring instruments that are powered by utility mains, as well as other uses.An 'isolation transformer' is a transformer specifically used to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit. Of course, ALL mutual transformers do this, but an isolation transformer normally has a 1:1 ratio, which means its secondary voltage is the same as its primary voltage. In other words, its purpose is NOT to change the supply voltage, but to isolate the user from the supply circuit.Isolation transformers isolate the secondary circuit from the earthed (grounded) primary circuit. As there is no earth return from the secondary circuit back to the primary supply, isolation transformer eliminate the risk of shock between the secondary circuit and earth.An example of an isolation transformer is a bathroom shaver socket. The output is completely isolated from the earthed supply, so users cannot receive a shock between the outlet and earth.
Do transformers work only on an AC supply?
Yes. Transformers operate on the theory of inducing current in one coil by starting and stopping the current in another coil on the same iron core. The voltage changes as a function of the turns ratio of the primary (driven) side to the secondary (output) side. Alternating current changes rapidly each second (e.g., 50, 60 400 Hz). To use a transformer in DC-to-DC converters, you first need to create a wave, run it through the transformer to get the new voltage, then rectify and filter it to restore the output to a DC voltage. Is this a trick question? AC in and AC out. Straight DC won't work without help. The DC is "switched" or "chopped" or "turned on and off" quickly in the primary, and this action will allow the pulsating DC in the primary to drive the secondary of the transformer. Problem solved.

transformer
What are the output voltage and current of a transformer determined by?
The secondary (output) voltage is determined by the primary voltage and the turns ratio of the transformer. The secondary current is determined by the secondary voltage and the load resistance.
What type of voltage is passed trough a transformer?
Voltage doesn't 'pass through' anything! Voltage is another word for 'potential difference', and is measured between two points in a circuit. For a transformer to work, it's necessary to apply an a.c. voltage across the transformer's primary terminals.
What is the point of a step up transformer?
A 'step-up' transformer is a transformer with more turns on its secondary winding than on its primary winding. It's secondary (output) voltage is, therefore, higher than its primary (input) voltage.
A transformer has a primary volt of 240v and a secondary volt of 48v what is the turn ratio?

If the primary winding of the transformer in the power supply opens what will you observe in the rectified output?
There would be no rectified output. The transformer primary has to be closed to induce a current into the secondary winding. At this point of the secondary the voltage is still AC. This voltage is then applied to the rectification bridge to change it to DC. So you can see how no voltage on the primary, the same as the unit being unplugged, affects the output voltage.
What is the output voltage of a transformer if the turns ratio is 0.5?
It is a Step-Up Transformer which has 2 times voltage in secondary(HV) than primary(LV)
Difference between input and output transformer?
The 'input' side of a transformer is called its 'primary' side, whereas the 'output' side is termed its 'secondary' side. The ratio of its secondary to primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary windings to the number of turns in the primary winding. So if, for example, a transformer's secondary winding has twice as many turns as its primary winding, then the secondary winding will produce twice the voltage applied to the primary winding.
What are the limitations of power supply?
Power limitation transformer circuit structure of power supply, including: an electromagnetic interference filter unit, a rectifying unit, a power factor correction section, a transformer having a primary input terminal and secondary input terminal, a pulse controlling unit connected with the secondary input terminal of the transformer, a primary power limitation circuit and at least one secondary power limitation circuit, an output current controlling unit and an output voltage controlling unit. The input terminal of the output current controlling unit is connected with the secondary output terminal of the transformer. The primary output terminal and secondary output terminal of the output current controlling unit are respectively serially connected with the primary and secondary power limitation circuits. The input terminal of the output voltage controlling unit is connected with the secondary output terminal of the transformer. The output terminal of the output voltage controlling unit is connected with the secondary power limitation circuit for controlling the magnitude of the voltage and current of the primary and secondary power limitation circuits so as to control the output power.
When will transformer voltage be zero?
A transformer output voltage will be zero when A. The input voltage is zero. B. When the primary (input) wire winding inside the transformer is broken, cut, or burnt out. C. When the secondary (output) wire winding is broken, cut, or burnt out.
Can a flyback transformer be powered by nothing but a car battery and wires?
A transformer is an AC device in that it requires a changing current to be input in order to see an output. Attaching a 12V battery to the primary side of the transformer will generate a voltage on the secondary for a short amount of time. Once the primary current has risen to a stable level, there will be no output voltage on the secondary. There will also be voltages on the secondary and the primary when the battery is disconnected from the transformer. A flyback transformer relies on an AC current at the primary to generate a high voltage at the secondary output. Circuitry to make changes to the primary current will be needed in addition to the battery. Warning: removing the battery from the primary winding of the transformer is liable to generate a very high voltage across the primary coil as well as the secondary. In some cases, they can be lethal. Do not experiment with transformers unless you are properly qualified and supervised.
What is the difference between a secondary and primary coil?
The primary coil is the one with voltage applied, or the 'input'. The secondary coil is the one in which a voltage is induced by electromagnetism, or the 'output'. In a step up transformer, the secondary coil voltage is higher than the primary. In a step down transformer, the secondary coil voltage is lower than the primary. In an isolation transformer, the secondary coil voltage is the same as the primary. Here, the point of the transformer isn't to raise or lower voltage, but to keep a particular circuit electrically disconnected from another circuit, while still allowing the circuits to function together (through electromagnetism).
How do you calculate input voltage of a transformer given both side high and low side impedances and also load with power factor?
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.
