AC Generator & Transformer

A step-up transformer operates on a 230 V230\text{ V} line and supplies current of 2 A2\text{ A} to a load. The ratio of the primary and secondary windings is 1:251 : 25. The current in the primary coil is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Ideal transformer: IpIs=NsNp\dfrac{I_p}{I_s} = \dfrac{N_s}{N_p}.
  2. Np:Ns=1:25⇒Ip=25×2=50 AN_p : N_s = 1 : 25 \Rightarrow I_p = 25 \times 2 = 50\text{ A}
  3. So the answer is (b) 50 A.
