Question
A neon sign that requires a voltage of $11,000 \mathrm{~V}$ is plugged into a $120-\mathrm{V}$ wall outlet. What loops ratio (secondary/ primary) must a transformer have to power the sign?
Step 1
We have a neon sign that requires a voltage of $11,000 \mathrm{~V}$, but it is plugged into a $120-\mathrm{V}$ wall outlet. We need to find the loops ratio (secondary/ primary) that a transformer must have to power the sign. Show more…

A neon sign that requires a voltage of $11,000 \mathrm{V}$ is plugged into a 120-$\mathrm{V}$wall outlet. What turns ratio (secondary/primary) must a transformer have to power the sign?
(I) Neon signs require 12 kV for their operation. To operate from a 240-V line, what must be the ratio of secondary to primary turns of the transformer? What would the voltage output be if the transformer were connected in reverse?
