Transformer Utilization Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Transformer Utilization Factor = DC Power Output/Effective VA Rating of Transformer
TUF = Pdc/Pva
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
Effective VA Rating of Transformer: 20 Volt Ampere --> 20 Watt (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
TUF = Pdc/Pva --> 25/20
Evaluating ... ...
TUF = 1.25
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
1.25 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
1.25 <-- Transformer Utilization Factor
