TRANSFORMER

1. A transformer steps down a voltage of 4500 volts to 120 volts. If there are 60 turns in the
secondary coil, how many turns are there in the primary coil assuming no power lost?
Given:
Primary voltage (VP) = 4500 Volt
Secondary loops (NS) = 60 loops
Secondary voltage (VS) = 120 Volt
Wanted: Primary loops (NP)
Solution:
Vs / Ns = Vp / Np
120 Volt/ 60 loops = 4500 Volt/ NP
120/ 60 = 4500/ NP
2 = 4500/ NP
2NP/ 2 = 4500/ 2
NP = 2250 loops

2. A step-down transformer decreases 2000 volts in the primary to 220 volts in the secondary,
which delivers a current of 60 amperes to consumers. If there is no power lost, find the current
in the primary and the power delivered to the consumer.
Given:
Primary voltage (VP) = 2000 Volt
Secondary voltage (VS) = 220 Volt
The current in secondary coil (IS) = 60 Ampere
Wanted: The current in the primary coil (IP)
Solution:
VS/ VP = IP/ IS
IPVP/ VP = VSIS/
VP IP = VSIS/ VP
IP = 220 Volt (60 Ampere)/ 2000 Volt
IP = 13200 VA/ 2000 V
IP = 6.6 Ampere

3. Currents of 0.25 A and 0.95 A flow through the primary and secondary coils of a transformer
respectively. If there are 1.0 x 103 turns in the primary coil how many turns are in the secondary
coil.
Given:
Primary coil (NP) = 1.0 x 103 loops
 The current in the primary coil (IP) = 0.25 Ampere
The current in secondary coil (IS) = 0.95 Ampere
Wanted: Secondary coil (NS)
Solution:
IS/IP = NP/NS
0.95 Ampere/ 0.25 Ampere = 103 loops/ NS
0.95/ 0.25 = 1.0 x 103/ NS
3.8 = 1.0 x 103/ NS
3.8(NS)/ 3.8 = 1.0 x 103/ 3.8
NS = 263.15 loops

4. A transformer steps down a voltage of 2500 volts to 220 volts. If there are 50 turns in the
secondary, how many turns are there in the primary assuming no power lost?
Given:
Primary voltage (VP) = 2500 Volt
Secondary loops (NS) = 50 loops
Secondary voltage (VS) = 220 Volt
Wanted: Primary loops (NP)
Solution:
Vs / Ns = Vp / Np
220 Volt/ 50 loops = 2500 Volt/ NP
220 / 50 = 2500 / NP
4.4 = 2500/NP
4.4(NP)/ 4.4 = 2500/ 4.4
NP = 568.18 568.2 loops
