Voltage Ratio

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

Description

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

Voltage Ratio: Compute the transformer secondary voltage from the primary voltage and winding turns.

When to use Voltage Ratio

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.

Primary voltage (V)
Required number input.
Primary turns
Required integer input.
Secondary turns
Required integer input.

How Voltage Ratio works

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

Secondary voltage (V)
The resulting secondary voltage returned as a number.

Limitations and assumptions

  • 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.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

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.
