Single Phase Transformer Calculator

This calculator helps determine the primary and secondary voltage or current in a single-phase transformer based on turns ratio, input/output parameters, and power rating. It’s useful for power engineers, electricians, and students working with AC power systems.

Transformer Voltage and Current Formulas

Formula
$$\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s}$$ $$\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}$$ $$P = V \cdot I$$

Where:

  • $$V_p$$ = primary voltage (V)
  • $$V_s$$ = secondary voltage (V)
  • $$N_p$$ = number of primary turns
  • $$N_s$$ = number of secondary turns
  • $$I_p$$ = primary current (A)
  • $$I_s$$ = secondary current (A)
  • $$P$$ = apparent power (VA)

These formulas assume an ideal transformer (no losses).


Single Phase Transformer – Calculation Example

Given:

  • $$V_p$$ = 240 V
  • $$V_s$$ = 24 V
  • $$I_s$$ = 5 A

Calculation:

  1. $$\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{240}{24} = 10 \Rightarrow \text{Turns ratio} = 10:1$$
  2. $$I_p = \frac{I_s}{\text{Turns ratio}} = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5~\text{A}$$
  3. $$P = V_s \cdot I_s = 24 \cdot 5 = 120~\text{VA}$$


Single-phase transformers are widely used in residential and light commercial electrical systems. This calculator allows you to compute voltage, current, power, or turns ratio depending on known parameters. It’s especially helpful for transformer selection, voltage conversion, and understanding power flow in AC circuits. While these formulas assume ideal conditions, they provide a close approximation for design and learning purposes.
