Question

Neon signs require 12kV12 \mathrm{kV} for their operation. To operate from a 240V240\mathrm{V} line, what must be the ratio of secondary to primary turns of the transformer? What would the voltage output be if the transformer were connected in reverse?

We are given:

Output voltage: Vs=12 kV=12103 VInput voltage: Vp=240 V\begin{aligned} \text{Output voltage:~}V_s & = 12\mathrm{~kV}= 12\cdot 10^{3}\mathrm{~V}\\ \text{Input voltage:~}V_p & = 240\mathrm{~V}\\ \end{aligned}

We must find the ratio between the number of turns on the primary and the secondary coil on the transformer. We then must find the output voltage if transformer is wired backwards.
