The Transformer Equation - Use it Either Way Up Flashcards
1
Q
How can you calculate the output voltage from a transformer?
A
From the input voltage and the number of turns on each coil
2
Q
Input (primary) voltage / output (secondary) voltage =
A
Number of turns on primary / number of turns on secondary
3
Q
What is useful about this equation?
A
It can be used either way up - less rearranging to do
4
Q
Where do you put whatever you’re trying to calculate?
A
On the top
5
Q
What is the number of turns on the secondary coil divided by?
A
The number of turns on the primary coil - called the turns ratio
