Secondary Voltage Calculator

Calculate the secondary voltage of transformers or circuits using the primary voltage and the turns ratio. Get accurate results for design and analysis.

Secondary Voltage Calculator:

Secondary voltage is the output voltage obtained from a transformer or circuit winding. The Secondary Voltage Calculator uses the turns ratio and primary voltage to compute accurate secondary voltage, helping in transformer design, load selection, and electrical analysis.

Secondary Voltage Tools formula

The Secondary Voltage Calculator computes the output voltage of a transformer or circuit based on primary voltage and turns ratio.

\[ V_{secondary} = \frac{N_{secondary}}{N_{primary}} \times V_{primary} \]

where Vsecondary is the secondary voltage, Vprimary is the primary voltage, Nsecondary is the number of turns in the secondary winding, and Nprimary is the number of turns in the primary winding.

This tool is essential for electrical engineers, students, and technicians working on transformers, AC circuits, and power distribution. It allows accurate calculation of secondary voltage for design, analysis, and troubleshooting. Users can input primary voltage and the turns ratio to quickly obtain secondary voltage values, ensuring proper voltage levels for loads and safe transformer operation.

Work & Installation — Input to Output Summary

Work:

  • Calculates secondary voltage for transformers and circuits.
  • Supports single-phase and three-phase systems.
  • Useful for transformer design, load voltage calculation, and electrical analysis.

Installation:

  • Add HTML input fields for primary voltage, secondary turns, and primary turns.
  • Include JavaScript formula: V_secondary = (N_secondary / N_primary) × V_primary
  • Display output in volts (V).

Input:

  • Primary Voltage (V_primary, V)
  • Primary Turns (N_primary)
  • Secondary Turns (N_secondary)

Output:

  • Secondary Voltage (V_secondary, V)

Testing and Final Adjustments

Test with example: V_primary = 230 V, N_primary = 1000 turns, N_secondary = 500 turns → V_secondary = 115 V. Verify calculations for different turns ratios, including step-up and step-down transformers. Ensure proper handling of decimal inputs and prevent negative or zero values. Include real-time calculation updates for better usability. Validate responsiveness across desktop and mobile browsers. Optionally, display step-up or step-down indication based on turns ratio. Ensure rounding and formatting of voltage output. After verification, finalize layout, input validation, tooltips, and responsive design to provide accurate secondary voltage calculation for educational, industrial, and professional use.
