Question

The electricity received at an electrical substation has a potential difference of 20,000 V. What should the ratio of the turns of the step-down
transformer be to have an output of 500 V?
Help plzzz

Answer 1

The turn ratio of the transformer is 40.

What is a transformer?

A transformer is an electrical device that is used to step up or step down voltage.

The formula for calculating the turns ratio of a transformer is given below.

Formula

• a = V/v.......... Equation 1

Where:

• V = Primary voltage
• v = Secondary voltage
• a = Turns ratio of the transformer

From the question,

Given:

• V = 20000 V
• v = 500 v

Substitute the values above into equation 1

• a = 20000/500
• a = 40.

Hence, The turn ratio of the transformer is 40.
