Transformer turns/voltage ratio

NpNs=VpVs\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{V_p}{V_s}

Power equation for 100% efficient transformer

Vp×Ip=Vs×IsV_p \times I_p = V_s \times I_s

Power station generation voltage

25,000 V

National Grid transmission voltage

400,000 V

National Grid voltage increase factor

16

Factor current reduced by (no energy losses)

16

Heating effect reduction factor

256

How 256 relates to 16

16216^2

Formula: power in terms of pd and current

P=V×IP = V \times I

Formula: power in terms of current and resistance

P=I2×RP = I^2 \times R

Why less current means more efficient transfer

Less energy dissipated as heat

Power in 100% efficient transformer coils

Same in both coils
