How do you calculate the output voltage of a transformer if kva rating is known?

In: Home Electricity, Electrical Engineering [Edit categories]

Answer:

You can't determine the output voltage of a transformer by knowing kva. Transformers will be marked as to input and output voltages. Some will have multiple input and output voltages. The output voltage depends on the ratio of coil turns between input and output.

How do you calculate voltage ratio of Transformer?
Count the turns ratio of the windings. The voltage ratio is equal to the turns ratio. The current ratio is equal to the inverse of the turns ratio. For instance, a power transformer with a 10:1 turn...
