Q.5. An 1100/400 V, 50 Hz single phase transformer has 100 turns on the secondary winding. Calculate the number of turns on its primary winding.
Answer
Using the transformer turns ratio formula (V1/V2 = N1/N2), the number of turns on the primary winding is calculated to be 275.
For an ideal transformer, the ratio of the primary voltage to the secondary voltage is exactly equal to the ratio of the primary turns to the secondary turns. This is known as the voltage transformation ratio.
Given values: Primary Voltage () = 1100 V Secondary Voltage () = 400 V Secondary Turns () = 100 We need to find Primary Turns ():
