|
Transformers are an application of mutual inducatance, caused by inductors.
|
|
Transformers transfer power between two inductors that share a mutual core.
|
|
Two sets of windings (giving winding is primary, pulling winding is secondary)
|
|
are used and rated in the given direction, however it works both ways.
|
|
|
|
By using different amounts of windings on each side we can step up or down
|
|
voltage and current. This is because the same amount of energy is on both
|
|
sides, however if there are fewer turns then the energy is more concentrated,
|
|
leading to a step up transformer.
|
|
|
|
The relationship between input and output voltages are based upon the primary
|
|
winding N,,p,, to the number of turns on the secondary winding N,,s,,. The
|
|
relationship with their voltages _E_ is shown below
|
|
|
|
E,,s,, / E,,p,, = N,,s,, / N,,p,,
|
|
|
|
E,,s,, = E,,p,, * N,,s,, / N,,p,,

Example,
|
|
|
|
What is the voltage across a 500 turn secondary if 120V is across a 2250 turn
|
|
primary?
|
|
|
|
120V * 500 / 2250
