Secondary Winding (Noun)
Meaning
Coil such that current is induced in it by passing a current through the primary coil.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The transformer uses the secondary winding to output the stepped-down or stepped-up voltage depending on its configuration.
- The current flowing through the primary coil induces an electromotive force in the secondary winding of the coil.
- When the alternating current passes through the primary coil, a corresponding alternating current is induced in the secondary winding.
- A turn ratio of 1:10 in a transformer coil indicates that the secondary winding has 10 times the number of turns of the primary winding.
- In the electrical isolation configuration, the secondary winding can float electrically from the primary coil circuit for safety reasons.
