Secondaryside

Secondaryside is a term often used in electronics and electrical engineering to refer to the output side of a transformer or a power supply. In a transformer, the primary side is where the input voltage is applied, and the secondary side is where the transformed voltage is generated. This transformation can be either stepping up or stepping down the voltage, depending on the winding ratio of the transformer.

In the context of a power supply, which often incorporates a transformer, the secondary side is the part that provides the regulated or converted DC voltage to the connected devices or loads. This is in contrast to the primary side, which connects to the AC mains power. Understanding the secondary side is crucial for proper circuit design, troubleshooting, and ensuring safe operation. It's where the usable output voltage and current are available. The characteristics of the secondaryside, such as its voltage rating, current capacity, and impedance, determine the performance of the power supply or transformer.
