Quick answer

Transformer voltage ratio equals the turns ratio, while current ratio is its inverse.

Vp ÷ Vs = Np ÷ Ns

How to use the Transformer Turns Ratio Calculator

  1. 1Enter primary and secondary voltages.
  2. 2Enter the primary turns count.
  3. 3Enter secondary current for the power figure.

Frequently asked questions

Are real transformers lossless?

No — expect 90–97% efficiency, so primary current is slightly higher.

Can it step up?

Yes — set secondary voltage above primary for a step-up ratio.
