Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.

Turns ratio

Required number input.

Compute the transformer impedance ratio as the square of the turns ratio. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Impedance ratio

The resulting impedance ratio returned as a number.

• Transformer ratios and losses depend on waveform, frequency, core material and flux, turns, winding resistance, leakage, magnetizing current, load power factor, temperature, insulation, and construction. Ideal turns-ratio equations do not establish regulation or thermal rating.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.

• Ethernet Turns Ratio

  Compute the transformer turns ratio of Ethernet magnetics from the line-side and port-side impedances as the square root of their ratio.

• Current Ratio

  Compute the transformer secondary current from the primary current and winding turns.

• Turns Ratio

  Compute the turns ratio of a transformer from its primary and secondary winding turns.
