i have got this and need to no which equation is right if any ?

a transformer has 1000v (v pri) ans 200v (v sec).if the current (pri) is 5a,calc the secondary current ?

which way is right 1000/200 = 5 then 5x5 =25

or

1000x5/200 = 25

thanks for looking

both methods work. go with the one you remember

 
You have the choice here, either use the voltage ratio, 1000:200 or 5:1 and if voltage goes down, current goes up by the same ratio (P=IV)

Or remember on an ideal transformer, power in = power out

so primary side 1000v x 5a = 5000w primary power,

secondary power 5000w / 200v gives 25A

cheers admin got the formulas you have put on here but looking for level 3 formulas.

 
That is the formula used in level three too Mate. ;)

 
When It comes to doing your 301. Make sure you know your motors, and your incuctance, capacitance and resitantace formulas. I sat mine last Wednesday and I had some crackers in there.

There was a beauty of a question on Lumer too. :(

:D

As soon as I get some time, I will put on a load of the level 3 formulas too.

 
can you remember any questions from your 301 and did you pass ?

cheers for the help with the formulas you put on the site they came in Handy

Distinction. :p

 
A lot of the questions are what you have been revising, just worded differently.

 
Thanks Mikey. Three and a half to go.

I have to do the paperwork side for the 302 as I have done the testing. :)
