A step-down transformer has a power output of 50 W and efficiency of 80%. if the mains supply voltage is 200 v, calculate the primary current of the transformer.

A
0.31 A
B
3.20 A
C
3.40 A
D
5.00 A
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: A

Efficiency = (power output)/power input x 100%

= 1s VS x 100% 1p

Vp

∴ (80)/100 = (50)/IP x 200

I P = (50 x 100)/80 x 200 = 3.125 A
