transformer resonance 01 PUBLIC

This simulation calculates the parasistic or stray capacitance that would have to appear in parallel with the secondary in order for a measurement of the primary inductance to exhibit a resonance at 50kHz.

Suppose you have a perfectly coupled transformer (i.e. coupling factor K = 1) with a total secondary inductance of 242mH and a pri:sec turns ratio of: 1:50.

This simulation calculates the parasistic or stray capacitance that would have to appear in parallel with the secondary in order for a measurement of the primary inductance to exhibit a resonance at 50kHz.

Note that in CircuitLab the turns ratio of the transformer symbol is very confusing and poorly identified: for a primary inductance of L, the secondary inductance is given by L/N^2.

To simplify the calculations in this example, the transformer is mirrored horizontally so that the L_PRI value in the symbol actually represents the SECONDARY inductance on the right hand side of the circuit and the actual primary inductance on the left side in the diagram is given as L*N^2.
