Step-up transformer:

Primary turns (N1).
Secondary turns (N2).
N1 < N2.

So turns ratio a = N1/N2 <1.

@Dean.

Almost true but turn ratio has to be wrong.

Turn ratio = N2/N1>1 (Turn ratio greater then one).

Turn Ratio is given as N1/N2.
N1<N2.

So, N1/N2 < 1.

Turns ratio is a ratio of the number of turns in primary to that of secondary. For Step -Up, Turns ratio <1 and for step-down it is >1.

Here, n2 is greater than n1 so the turns ratio will be n1/n2 is less than 1. Why the answer is greater than 1? Please tell me.

Mahesh said:   7 years ago
The turns ratio is compare with respect to current n2/n1 so in the step up transformer the valu greater than one.
