Transformer Turns Ratio Calculator
Calculate transformer turns ratio, required secondary turns, ideal secondary current, and apparent power.
Formula
Vp/Vs = Np/Ns = Is/Ip for an ideal transformer.
About the Transformer Turns Ratio Calculator
Calculate transformer turns ratio, required secondary turns, ideal secondary current, and apparent power. This tool keeps the requested measurements separate and applies the named method instead of substituting an unrelated general estimate.
How the Transformer Turns Ratio Calculator Works
Primary and secondary voltage determine turns ratio; known primary turns and current are transferred through the ideal power balance.
Formula
Vp/Vs = Np/Ns = Is/Ip for an ideal transformer.
The calculation runs in your browser. Values are validated for required ranges, compatible units, and method-specific restrictions before results are displayed.

Accuracy and Limitations
Real transformers have regulation, magnetizing current, winding loss, core loss, insulation, flux-density, frequency, and temperature constraints.
Keep units consistent, use measurements that represent the actual situation, retain full precision during the calculation, and round only the final answer. Professional decisions may require current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist review.
