Number of Turns per Volt Formula

Formula
$$N = \frac{V \cdot 10^8}{4.44 \cdot f \cdot A \cdot B}$$

Where:

  • $$N$$ = number of turns
  • $$V$$ = voltage (V)
  • $$f$$ = frequency (Hz)
  • $$A$$ = core cross-sectional area (cm²)
  • $$B$$ = magnetic flux density (Gauss, typically 10,000 G = 1 T)

This is the general formula for calculating the number of turns in a transformer coil using the volts-per-turn rule, derived from Faraday’s Law.


Number of Turns – Calculation Example

Given:

  • $$V$$ = 230 V
  • $$f$$ = 50 Hz
  • $$A$$ = 6.25 cm²
  • $$B$$ = 10,000 G

Calculation:

  1. $$N = \frac{230 \cdot 10^8}{4.44 \cdot 50 \cdot 6.25 \cdot 10,000}$$
  2. $$= \frac{2.3 \cdot 10^{10}}{13,875,000} ≈ 1657.66~\text{turns}$$


Designing a transformer requires accurately calculating the number of turns per winding to ensure the correct voltage transformation and core utilization. This calculator helps determine turns based on voltage, frequency, core area, and magnetic flux. It supports both primary and secondary windings, offering quick estimates for power transformer design, inverter circuits, and magnetic component design in electronics.
