Transformer Operation V1V1 V’ 1 V’ 2 IoIo I’ 2 I’ 1 I1I1

Transformation Ratio Magnetic flux is common coils Therefore the voltage can be varied by changing the number of turns

V1=V1=N1N1 N2N2 V2=V2= = k = Transformation Ratio

Transformation Ratio V 1 x I 1 N1N1 N2N2 =V 2 x I 2 = I1I1 I2I2

Transformation Ratio V 1 x I 1 VA V 2 x I 2 kVA Power InPower Out

Transformation Ratio V 1 x I 1 V 2 x I  200V100V 800  K = 2
