I would like to know how to work out the turn ratio on a transformer from having just the input and output voltages.

So the turn ratio is 24 - 6
ws0619 said:There are two types of transformers,step-up transformer(sut) and step-down transformer(sdt),the turns ratio for (sut)is bigger than 1 and for (sdt) is less than 1.

How do you calculate the out put voltage of a transformer when you only know the input voltage
A transformer is an electrical device that transfers energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
The turn ratio in a transformer determines the voltage and current output of the secondary circuit in relation to the input voltage and current of the primary circuit.
The turn ratio is calculated by dividing the number of turns in the secondary coil by the number of turns in the primary coil.
The turn ratio of a transformer is affected by the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils, the magnetic permeability of the core material, and the frequency of the input voltage.
A higher turn ratio in a transformer will result in a higher output voltage and a lower input current, which can lead to increased efficiency. However, if the turn ratio is too high, it can cause excessive voltage stress on the insulation of the windings, reducing the lifespan of the transformer.
