Introduction:

The transformer is an electrical compponent having the ability to change the voltage level and
current,by the two coils wound around a core or common center

The core is consists of a large number of plates or foils of an alloy of IRON and SILICON.This alloy reduces
losses magnetic hysteresis [ability to maintain a magnetic signal after removal of magnetic field] and
increases the resistivity of iron.

MATERIALS:

CORE

-Iron sheets

-Cardboard

MAGNETIC WIRES

COPPER WIRES (color coding)

MASKING TAPE

PRICE:

Core –P700

Magnetic Wire–P1200

Masking Tape –P40

Copper Wires –P20

Iron Sheets –P100

Other Expences –P40

TOTAL:P2100

Amount per Person :P525

Computation and Procedures:

Input: Primary Winding=120 V

Output: Secondary Winding= 32x32v to 3A (tap will use central)

The first thing to calculate is the power of our transformer

In this case, (32+32V)x3A=192W

Now,if you look in our core formulate table we find the value that comes close is 196W,{since they are
maximum powers }

CORE MAX POWER TURNS BY VOLTAGE AREA IN CM

2.8X5 196W 3 14

Thus far we find we need core,which is 2.8 cm. X=Y=5 cm.

However;by dividing the power of our amplifier between the input voltage ampere get the value for the
primary winding;

192 W/120 V=1.6A

Now we look at the table AWG

CALIBER CIRCULAR MILS DIAMETER IN MM AMPERE

21 810.1 0.72 1.6
18 1.624 1.02 3.2

As you can see,we use a 21 gauge for the primary winding,and a feeler 18 for the secondary
winding,since this must submit 3A

To calculate the amount of primary winding turns,we must multiply the laps per volt (3 per cable
formulate core),the amount of input volt.

120V X 3=360 turns for the primary winding.

For the secondary winding,do the same but with the desired output voltage;

64V X 3=192laps. In this case,ariving at around 96,we weld the central tap table or we can wrap the wire
twice and give only 96 laps.
