What is current ratio on a transformer?
It's approximately the inverse of the voltage- or turns-ratio:
What is mean by 2is to 3 turns ratio Transformer what is primary turns and secondary turns?
with an ideal electrical transformer with an input current of 2 amps and an output current of 1 amp what is the turns ratio of the secondary and primary coils
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.
In transformer how can you increase or decrease the voltage?
In a transformer, you increase or decrease the voltage by changing the turns ratio between the primary or secondary windings. Increase the turns on primary, and secondary voltage goes down. Increase the turns on secondary, and secondary voltage goes up. Note that this usually involves choosing a different transformer, as changing the turns ratio is not something that can be easily done in the field. Some transformers have multiple taps on one of the windings which can be used to change turns ratio.
Is current equal in step up and step down transformer?
No. Available step current is inversely proportional to available step voltage. For example, if you have a turns ratio of 10:1 for a typical step-down transformer running off of 120 VAC, producing 12 VAC; if the input current were 1 ampere, the output current would be 10 amperes. Similarly, for a step up transformer, available voltage goes up while available current goes down, all within the turns ratio. Nope. The current will be equal if the turns ratio is 1:1 in an ideal transformer. But, t/f s are not designed that way. Further, Current ratio is equal to the inverse of turns ratio.
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
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.
Does the formula used to calculate the turns ratio uses the phase voltages and phase current?
No, the turns ratio formula calculates the ratio of the primary to secondary winding turns on a transformer using the number of turns on each winding. Phase voltages and currents are not directly used in this calculation.
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:
Formula for relation between primary winding and secondary winding?
The turns ratio of Primary / Secondary tells you have the voltage and current will be changed. The secondary current will be (primary turns/secondary turns) times the primary current, and the secondary voltage will be (secondary turns / primary turns) times the primary voltage.CommentThe above answer is a little misleading, because the secondary current is determined by the load, and not by the transformer's ratio. It would, therefore, be more accurate to say that the primary current would be equal to the secondary current times the (primary turns/secondary turns) -i.e. not the other way around!
What is mean by 2is to 3 turns ratio Transformer what is primary turns and secondary turns?
with an ideal electrical transformer with an input current of 2 amps and an output current of 1 amp what is the turns ratio of the secondary and primary coils
What reference to a transformer the current times the number of turns is called the?
Transformer turns ratio
How do you calculate current on the primary side of a transformer only knowing the turns ratio and the voltage ratio?
The primary current on a loaded transformer depends on the secondary current, which is determined by the load. So, if you know the secondary load current, then you can use the turns ratio of the transformer to determine the primary current:Ip/Is = Ns/Np
What are the Causes of phase angle error and ratio error at Current Transformers?
RATIO ERROR The secondary current is less than the expected value. The secondary is less in magnitude. This diffence is known as ratio error. PHASE ERROR The angle between the expected and actual secondary current is known as phase error.
Difference between line transformation ratio and transformation phase ratio?
line transformation ratio would be the turns ratio (ie voltage ratio), while the phase transformation ratio is most probably the phase shift introduced by a 3 phase transformer.
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.
