Examples: Voltage and Turns Ratio

<^< Voltage and Turns Ratio | Course Index | Current and Turns Ratio >^>(:nl:)

>>frame round<< Example 1:

A transformer has a turns-per-voltage rating of 6.

Determine the primary and secondary voltages if the transformer has 1,400 primary turns and 150 secondary turns. >><<

>>id=example1 class=question margin=10px frame round<< Since t.p.v. = 6, the primary voltage (VP) can be calculated thus:

t.p.v. = N'_P_' / V'_P_' = 1,400 / V'_P_',

V'_P_' = 1,400 / t.p.v = 1,400 / 6 = 233V

Similarly, the secondary voltage (V'_S_') can be calculated from:

V'_S_' = N'_S_' / 6 = 150 / 6 = 25V >><<

>>frame round<< Example 2:

A transformer has 1,200 primary turns and 100 secondary turns.

If the primary is connected to a 220V r.m.s. a.c. supply, determine the secondary voltage >><<

>>id=example2 class=question margin=10px frame round<< Since V'_P_'/V'_S_' = N'_P_'/N'_S_',

V'_P_' x N'_S_' = N'_P_' x V'_S_',

therefore, V'_S_' = V'_P_'x N'_S_' / N'_P_',

V'_S_' = 220 x 100 / 1,200 = 18.3 V >><<

>>frame round<< Example 3:

A transformer has 660 primary turns and is designed to operate with a 110V a.c. supply.

If the transformer is required to produce an output of 10V, determine the number of secondary turns required. >><<

>>id=example3 class=question margin=10px frame round<< Since V'_P_'/V'_S_' = N'_P_'/N'_S_',

V'_P_' x N'_S_'= N'_P_' x V'_S_',

N'_S_' = N'_P_' x V'_S_' / V'_P_',

N'_S_' = 660 x 10 / 110 = 60 turns >><<(:nl:)(:table style="clear:both":)
