Stacking Factor of Transformer Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Stacking Factor of Transformer = Net Cross Sectional Area/Gross Cross Sectional Area
S_f = A_net/A_gross
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Stacking Factor of Transformer - Stacking Factor of Transformer is the ratio of the effective cross-sectional area of the transformer core to the physical cross-sectional area of the transformer core.
Net Cross Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Net Cross Sectional Area is to be determined from the gross cross section area minus all openings and holes for fasteners.
Gross Cross Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Gross Cross Sectional area is the area delineated by the out-to-out specified dimensions of masonry in the plane under consideration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Net Cross Sectional Area: 1000 Square Centimeter --> 0.1 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Gross Cross Sectional Area: 1200 Square Centimeter --> 0.12 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_f = A_net/A_gross --> 0.1/0.12

Evaluating ... ...

S_f = 0.833333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.833333333333333 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.833333333333333 ≈ 0.833333 <-- Stacking Factor of Transformer
