I constantly hear education text books talking about winding ratios, ie a 480 to 120 volt transformer will have 4 times more primary turns than secondary turns with graphics showing the same size wire. However come real I don't think that always to be the case. I have seen many actual transformers where the primary is of much thinner wire while the secondary is of thicker wire.
Does size also play a role in voltage/amp ratios? Ie if I had 20,000 primary turns of 24 gauge wire and 20,000 turns of 14 gauge secondary wire would my secondary voltage be lower with more available current?
