Best answer
To calculate the transformer turns ratio, divide the number of turns in the primary winding by the number of turns in the secondary winding. The formula is:

\[ \text{Turns Ratio} = \frac{N_p}{N_s} \]

where \( N_p \) is the number of turns in the primary and \( N_s \) is the number in the secondary. Are you looking for specific applications or examples related to this?

To calculate the transformer turns ratio, you'll need the primary and secondary voltage values. The formula is:

\[
\text{Turns Ratio} = \frac{V_p}{V_s}
\]

where \(V_p\) is the primary voltage and \(V_s\) is the secondary voltage. For example, if the primary voltage is 240V and the secondary voltage is 120V, the turns ratio would be \( \frac{240}{120} = 2\). This means there are two turns in the primary winding for every turn in the secondary winding. Would you like to delve into a specific example or application?
