Transformer Utilization Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Transformer Utilization Factor = DC Power Output/Effective VA Rating of Transformer
TUF = P_dc/P_va
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Transformer Utilization Factor - The Transformer Utilization Factor (TUF) of a rectifier circuit is defined as the ratio of the DC power available at the load resistor to the AC rating of the secondary coil of a transformer.
DC Power Output - (Measured in Watt) - DC Power Output is the output power of the rectifier.
Effective VA Rating of Transformer - (Measured in Watt) - Effective VA Rating of Transformer is the average of rating of primary and secondary winding rating.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

DC Power Output: 25 Watt --> 25 Watt No Conversion Required
