This ideal ratio calculation does not model winding losses or regulation.

How it works

For an ideal transformer, voltage follows the turns ratio: Vs/Vp = Ns/Np, so the tool computes Vs = Vp·(Ns/Np). It reports the primary-to-secondary turns ratio separately as Np/Ns to 1.

Assumptions & limits

  • Uses the ideal-transformer relationship and does not model winding losses, core losses, leakage flux, regulation or load current.
  • Primary voltage and both turn counts must be positive finite numbers; frequency and core saturation are not evaluated.

FAQ

When does a transformer step voltage up?
In the ideal ratio used here, secondary voltage exceeds primary voltage when the secondary has more turns than the primary.
