I'm guessing that you are talking about a simple transformer... So .... aply a AC vlotage on the primary side and measure the voltage on the secondary side and do the math. ( primary / secondary voltage = truns ratio to one) That's the simple answer

How do you calculate the transformer turns ratio?

For an ideal transformer, the voltage ratio is the same as its turns ratio.


What are the reasons for conducting transformer turns ratio?

The reason for conducting transormer turns ratio is to determine if the transformer is a step-up or step-down.AnswerTo determine the turns ratio if the turns ratio is unknown.


How do you calculate turns ratio for current transformer?

The turns ratio is the number of primary turns divided by the number of secondary turns. This is the same ratio as input current to output current. ie the turns ratio N = I1/I2


What determines the transformer ratio?

Transformer ratio, more correctly turns ratio, is the number of turns in the primary winding divided by the number of turns in the secondary winding.


A transformer with a primary of 1200 turns and a secondary of 400 turns has what ratio?

A transformer primary of 1200 turns with a secondary of 400 turns is a ratio of 3 to 1.


How do you determine transformer turns ratio if the supply source and load is given?

Transformer turns ratio is the ratio of voltages between two windings. For instance, a 24VAC control transformer that runs on 120VAC will have a turns ratio about 5 to 1.


How do you calculate primary current?

If it's a step up or step down transformer and you know the secondary side current, multiply the secondary current by the turns ratio. If you know the power in the secondary winding but not the current, divide the secondary power by the secondary voltage to get the secondary current and then multiply the secondary current by the turns ratio to get the primary current. The turns ratio is the number of turns on the secondary winding divided by the number of turns on the primary winding. For a step up transformer, the turns ratio will be greater then one. If it's a step down transformer, then the turns ratio will be less than one. If you don't know the turns ratio, divide the secondary voltage by the primary voltage to get the turns ratio.


How do you calculate voltage ratio of Transformer?

Count the turns ratio of the windings. The voltage ratio is equal to the turns ratio. The current ratio is equal to the inverse of the turns ratio. For instance, a power transformer with a 10:1 turn ratio (primary to secondary) running on 120V will produce 12V. If it consumes 1 ampere from the input, it will provide 10 amperes to the output.


The ratio of coils on the input side of a transformer to coils on the output side is the ratio of the input voltage to the output voltage?

I think you mean 'turns' rather than 'coils' (a coil is made up of a number of turns). The answer is that, yes, the turns ratio is the same as the voltage ratio, for an ideal transformer.


What is the definition of transformation ratio?

The turns ratio of a transformer is the number of primary turns to secondary turns. This defines how the transformer will change the voltage and current. For N1 primary turns, and N2 secondary turns, N1/N2 will be the turns ratio; the secondary voltage will be:the primary voltage x (N2/N1); The secondary current will be:primary current x (N1/N2)


What is current ratio on a transformer?

It's approximately the inverse of the voltage- or turns-ratio:


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

For a transformer, the turns ratio always applies between its primary and secondary windings. So the turns ratio for a three-phase transformer is the ratio of primary to secondary phase voltages, not between line voltages.
