Sample Computation: Input (primary winding): 220Vac, Desired
output (Sec. Winding): 12Vac at 10A:
1. Solve for Power(watts) -now as we can see the AWG table #25 can handle a current of 0.6 A and as given our secondary
12V x 10A =120Watts current is 10A which can be handle by AWG #13. So we can use AWG#25 as primary and AWG#
-now look at the core table for the appropriate core that is nearest to 13 for secondary.
120w. (3.2x3.5 has a max power of 125watts) 3. Solve for Number of Turns :( just look at the Turns / volt with respect to the Core area that
2. Solve for Primary current (ampere) you’ve chosen). In this case we will multiply 220V x 3.75 = 875 Turns for primary, and
for
120w / 220v = 0.54A secondary: 12V x 3.75 = 45 turns.
