Transformer Design Calculation Excel -

Closing Use this as a practical, Excel-friendly roadmap. For a complete workbook I can generate cell-by-cell formulas and an .xlsx structure (inputs, calculations, checks, and printable summary) if you want — tell me which rated power, voltages, frequency, and any constraints (max size, cooling, target %Z).

F1: Total loss = 0.73+0.675+0.27 = 1.675 W F2: Output power = 12 1.5 = 18 W F3: Efficiency = 18/(18+1.675) = 91.5% F4: Regulation = (IpRp cosφ + IsRs)/Vs * 100 (assume resistive load cosφ=1) = (0.087 96 + 1.5*0.30)/12 * 100 = (8.35+0.45)/12 *100 ≈ 73% → This is too high! → Means our wire size is too thin (Rp high) or we need larger core to reduce turns.

What are you designing? (e.g., Toroidal, EI Lamination, Shell, or Core type)

Developing a comprehensive workbook takes time, but it results in a reliable tool that accelerates design time and improves accuracy. By integrating core area formulas, wire tables, and loss calculations, you can efficiently move from concept to a valid, buildable design. If you'd like to dive deeper,

C1: Ip = (A2 A3)/(A1 0.9) → (12 1.5)/(230 0.9) = 0.087 A C2: Ap_cu = Ip / J = 0.087 / 2.5e6 = 3.48e-8 m² = 0.0348 mm² → nearest wire dia ~0.21 mm (SWG 34) C3: Resistance (assume MLT = 0.06 m, ρ=1.724e-8) Rp = ρ * MLT * Np / Ap_cu = 1.724e-8 * 0.06 * 3243 / 3.48e-8 ≈ 96 Ω C4: Copper loss primary = Ip² * Rp = 0.087² * 96 ≈ 0.73 W

This "Radial Build" determines if the windings will physically fit into the "Window Area" of the core selected in Phase I. If the spreadsheet returns a fit error (e.g., the logical check IF(Window_Height < Winding_Height, "Error: Core Too Small", "Fit OK") ), the engineer is alerted immediately. This prevents a design failure that might only be caught during physical manufacturing, saving significant time and cost.

This foundational metric determines how much voltage is induced across a single loop of wire: → Means our wire size is too thin

This fundamental relationship, often the first step in any design, is elegantly simple: ( V_p / V_s = N_p / N_s ). The spreadsheet calculates the primary or secondary turns based on the voltage and the turns of the other winding.
