Generation

The transformer turns ratio is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding, expressed as **N₁:N₂** or **a = N₁/N₂**. This ratio determines how the transformer steps voltage up or down according to the relationship **V₁/V₂ = N₁/N₂**, meaning if the secondary has fewer turns, the voltage is stepped down proportionally (and vice versa). The turns ratio also inversely affects current, where **I₁/I₂ = N₂/N₁**, so stepping down voltage results in stepping up current. This relationship allows transformers to efficiently transfer electrical power between circuits at different voltage levels while conserving power (ideally, V₁I₁ = V₂I₂).
