Ratio 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 Equation (13-2).
Another way to express the impedance ratio is to take the square root of both sides of Equation (13-2). This puts the ratio in terms of the turns ratio, which is always given for a transformer.
where NP= number of turns in the primary NS= number of turns in the secondary ZP= impedance of primary ZS= impedance of secondary Efficiency Efficiency of a transformer is the ratio of the power output to the power input, as illustrated by Equation (13-3).
where Ps = power of secondary Pp = power of primary
