What is the turns ratio formula for transformers?

U1/U2 = N1/N2

U1= Primary Input V

U2= Secondary Input V

N1= Number of Primary Windings

N2=Number Secondary Windings

How does a transformer’s power rating differ from its efficiency?

Power Rating = VA (Vol-Ampere) = Vrms x I rms

Efficiency = Power Out/Power In
