N_primary = V_primary / E_turn And secondary turns: Transformer_Design_Calculator_v2
Awg_area_mm2 = I / J Diameter_mm = SQRT(4 * Awg_area_mm2 / PI()) Then map to nearest standard AWG/SWG using a lookup table (store in a third sheet "Wire_Table"). This is the most critical validation step. Calculate total copper area: Convert to m² by dividing by 10,000
A_core_cm2 = a × b × stacking_factor Stacking factor is ~0.9 for standard laminations (due to insulation coating). Convert to m² by dividing by 10,000. Open a new workbook. Name the first sheet "Design_Inputs" and the second "Calculations" . Sheet 1: Design_Inputs (User Entry Cells) Create a clean input table (yellow background for editable cells):
