  • Transformer Secondary Voltage Calculation: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the secondary voltage of a transformer:

    Understanding Transformer Voltage Ratios

    A transformer's voltage ratio is directly proportional to the number of turns in its windings. The formula is:

    * Vp / Vs = Np / Ns

    Where:

    * Vp = Primary voltage

    * Vs = Secondary voltage

    * Np = Number of turns in the primary winding

    * Ns = Number of turns in the secondary winding

    Solving the Problem

    1. Given:

    * Vp = 120 volts

    * Np = 200 turns

    * Ns = 20 turns

    2. Solve for Vs:

    * (120 volts) / Vs = (200 turns) / (20 turns)

    * 120 / Vs = 10

    * Vs = 120 / 10

    * Vs = 12 volts

    Therefore, the secondary voltage of the transformer is 12 volts.
