Sekundärwicklung
Sekundärwicklung refers to the secondary winding of a transformer. A transformer consists of at least two coils of wire, the primary winding and the secondary winding, wound around a common ferromagnetic core. The primary winding is connected to an alternating current source, which induces a magnetic flux in the core. This changing magnetic flux then passes through the secondary winding, inducing an electromotive force (EMF) across it. The ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding determines the voltage transformation ratio. If the secondary winding has more turns than the primary, it is a step-up transformer, increasing the voltage. Conversely, if it has fewer turns, it is a step-down transformer, decreasing the voltage. The secondary winding is where the transformed electrical energy is delivered to a load. The output voltage and current from the secondary winding are directly proportional to the input voltage and current, with the proportionality constant dictated by the turns ratio and considering transformer efficiency. Sekundärwicklung is therefore crucial for adapting voltage levels in electrical systems for various applications, from power transmission to electronic devices.
