SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the turns ratio for a transformer with a primary voltage of 220V and a secondary voltage of 12V. The turns ratio is determined by dividing the primary voltage by the secondary voltage, resulting in a ratio of 18.33. While the exact number of turns cannot be calculated without additional information, it is essential to ensure that the primary winding has sufficient turns to maintain a high reactance (XL) to prevent excessive current draw when the secondary is open. Additionally, it is crucial to avoid exceeding 1 Tesla in the transformer core under no-load conditions, adhering to Faraday's Law for optimal design.
