Determination of the number of turns of the windings of the transformer, if its type and parameters are not known, is carried out as follows.

Using an ohmmeter, determine the location of the terminals of all the windings of the transformer. Since the filament winding of the power transformer and the secondary winding of the output transformer have a small number of turns of a relatively thick wire, these windings can be distinguished from the mains (secondary) winding either by external examination - by the largest diameter of the terminals, if the terminals are made with a winding wire, or by the least resistance, if It is impossible to determine the winding by the diameter of the wire.

If there are gaps between the coil and the matitovod, an additional winding is wound on the coil over the windings (possibly with a thin wire), and the more turns, the more accurate the measurement results will be.

One of the secondary windings is taken as primary and a small (not higher than 5 ... 7 V) alternating voltage is applied to it.

By measuring the voltage on each winding of the transformer, including the additional one, the number of turns of any winding is determined by the formula:

where Ui is the voltage on the i-winding; Udon - voltage on the additional winding; (ωadm - the number of turns of the additional winding.

If there is no room for an additional winding on the transformer coil, part of the outer winding can be used. To do this, carefully open the outer insulation layer of the coil in order to gain access to the last winding layer, usually made turn by turn. A certain number of turns (ωdop) are counted from the end of the winding. One probe of the voltmeter is connected to the end of the winding, the other probe with a needle, piercing the enamel of the last counted turn, measure the alternating voltage Udon on the part of the windings containing (ωadm) turns. In the role of the primary winding, on which the initial voltage falls, any winding of the transformer, including the external one, can be used.

After measuring the voltage on all windings of the transformer, determine the number of turns in each winding according to the above formula.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Offshore hydrogen production 05.06.2022

Germany plans to invest in research into the possibility of producing hydrogen on the high seas.

It is planned to invest 2 billion euros in the research of hydrogen technologies in the production of electricity at offshore wind farms over four years.

To implement its plan, Germany is going to strengthen cooperation with Australia.

"The idea is that in just a few years ships would be transporting green hydrogen from solar and wind energy from Australia to Germany," said German Education and Research Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger.

According to the Ministry of Industry, Science and Technology of this country, the total amount of government investment in the development of the hydrogen industry over the past three years has exceeded 1,5 billion Australian dollars ($1,1 billion).
