NASCLA Electrical exam practice question · Electrical Theory & Principles

An ideal transformer has 480 volts applied to its primary and a primary-to-secondary turns ratio of 4:1. What secondary voltage is expected?

  • A480 volts
  • 120 volts
  • C4 volts
  • D1,920 volts

Where to look it up

Explicit exercise assumptions; not a universal code requirement.

Why B is correct

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np = 1/4, so Vs = 480/4 = 120 volts. The result uses the stated primary-to-secondary turns ratio and the ideal-transformer assumption.
