For a transformer with 7200 volts on the high side and 120 volts on the low side, what is the voltage ratio of the transformer?

To determine the voltage ratio of a transformer, you need to compare the high side voltage to the low side voltage. In this case, the high side voltage is 7200 volts, and the low side voltage is 120 volts.

The voltage ratio is calculated by dividing the high side voltage by the low side voltage:

Voltage Ratio = High Side Voltage / Low Side Voltage

Plugging in the numbers gives:

Voltage Ratio = 7200 volts / 120 volts = 60

This calculation shows that for every 60 volts on the low side, there are 7200 volts on the high side. Therefore, the voltage ratio of the transformer is indeed 60 to 1.

This ratio indicates that the transformer steps down the voltage from the high voltage side to the low voltage side, reducing 7200 volts to 120 volts while maintaining the relationship between the two voltages based on that ratio.
