Transformer turns per volt calculation with Example
Today in this post you will learn about the transformer turns per volt calculation formula with complete explanation. This transformer formula help you calculate the transformer turn per volt.
Transformer turns per volt calculation winding formula
To calculate the transformer turn per volt, First you need to calculate the bobbin size. For example if you have bobbin with length of 2? (inches) and width 3? inches. Then you need first to change the bobbin area to the Square inches.
So for that
2 x 3 = 6
So your total bobbin area in square inches is 6 square inches.
So to find out the turn per volt the formula is …
7.5 / total are of core/bobbin in square inches.
So 7.5/6 = 1.25
So the 1.25 is our turn per volt for 2? and 3 inches Bobbin or Core.
Now take another example if we want to design a step down transformer which step down the voltage from 220 to 12 Volts.
So our primary voltage is 220 VAC and our requirements on secondary is 12 Volts VAC.
So our turn per volts for core is 1.25
So 1.25 x primary voltage
1.25 x 220 is 275 . So 275 turn will be for the primary.
Our Secondary requirements is 12 Volts.
1.25 x 12 = 15 turn. So our secondary turn will be 15 for 12 VAC.
