    Frequently Asked Questions - Full Load Current Turns ratio Calculate Conversion FAQs:

    How do you calculate transformer turns ratio and full load current?

    You can determine single-phase kVA by dividing (V × I) / 1000 using voltage (V) multiplied by current (I). The combination of 240V voltage and 100A current gives a 24 kVA rating to this transformer. The transformer dimensions depend on the assessment of single-phase power requirements.

    What is the relationship between turns ratio and current ratio?

    The equation to determine three-phase kVA involves (V × I × √3) / 1000, with V representing line voltage and I representing line current. When using a 480V system with 60A per phase, the necessary transformer capacity should be 50 kVA.

    How do you determine secondary current using turns ratio?

    The calculation for determining required kVA starts with kVA = (Total Load × Demand Factor) / Power Factor. A transformer sized at 35.6 kVA must be used to handle a 40 kW load that has a 0.8 demand factor and a 0.9 power factor.

    Why is turns ratio calculation important for transformer selection?

    Appropriate kVA transmitter sizing both avoids equipment overload while maintaining steady voltage levels and bringing cost-efficiency to the system. A transformer operates inefficiently and wastes money when its size exceeds the necessary capacity but exposes itself to overheating hazards when the size is insufficient.

    How do you calculate transformer impedance using turns ratio?

    Efficiently determine maximum power capacity by multiplying kVA by power factor. A 100 kVA transformer under 0.8 power factor conditions can deliver up to 80 kW maximum load.
