Transformers Isolation / Matching Isolation – Unity turns ratio Same number of turns in the secondary as in the primary. Matching Step Up or Step Down Step up… More windings in Secondary Step Down…More windings in Primary

Calculating Turns Ratio Each winding of a transformer contains a certain number of turns of wire. The turns ratio is defined as the ratio of turns of wire in the primary winding to the number of turns of wire in the secondary winding. Turns ratio can be expressed using the formula Np Ratio = Ns Np = Number of turns in the Primary Ns = Number of turns in the Secondary

Impedance Matching Maximum power is transferred from one circuit to another through a transformer when the impedances are equal, or matched. A transformer winding constructed with a definite turns ratio can perform an impedance matching function. The turns ratio will establish the proper relationship between the primary and secondary winding impedances. The ratio between the two impedances is referred to as the impedance ratio and is expressed by using the following equation. Np Zp --- = ---- Ns Zs Where Np = Number of turns in Primary Ns = Number of turns in Secondary Zp = Impedance of Primary Zs = Impedance of Secondary

Capacitors in Series When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is less than any one of the series capacitors' individual capacitances. If two or more capacitors are connected in series, the overall effect is that of a single (equivalent) capacitor having the sum total of the plate spacings of the individual capacitors. An increase in plate spacing, with all other factors unchanged, results in decreased capacitance. C1*C2 Two Capacitors CT = C1+C2 Two or more = CT C1 C2 C3 C……

Capacitors in Parallel When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitors' capacitances. If two or more capacitors are connected in parallel, the overall effect is that of a single equivalent capacitor having the sum total of the plate areas of the individual capacitors. An increase in plate area, with all other factors unchanged, results in increased capacitance. Capacitors in Parallel are additive. CT = C1 + C 2 + C3 +C...

Inductors in Series When inductors are connected in series, the total inductance is the sum of the individual inductors' inductances. The definitive measure of inductance is the amount of voltage dropped across an inductor for a given rate of current change through it. If inductors are connected together in series (thus sharing the same current, and seeing the same rate of change in current), then the total voltage dropped as the result of a change in current will be additive with each inductor, creating a greater total voltage than either of the individual inductors alone. Greater voltage for the same rate of change in current means greater inductance. Inductors in Series are additive. LT = L1 + L 2 + L3 +L...

Inductors in Parallel When inductors are connected in parallel, the total inductance is less than any one of the parallel inductors' inductances. Rremember that the definitive measure of inductance is the amount of voltage dropped across an inductor for a given rate of current change through it. Since the current through each parallel inductor will be a fraction of the total current, and the voltage across each parallel inductor will be equal, a change in total current will result in less voltage dropped across the parallel array than for any one of the inductors considered separately. In other words, there will be less voltage dropped across parallel inductors for a given rate of change in current than for any of those inductors considered separately, because total current divides among parallel branches. Less voltage for the same rate of change in current means less inductance Two or more.. -- = (Reciprocal) LT L1 L2 L3 L……
