Free tools:ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
Time:2 minutes
Difficulty:Beginner
What You'll Get
A step-by-step calculation or plain-language explanation of transformer sizing, secondary current, tap settings, or three-phase connection types — with the math walked out clearly.
The Prompt
Copy and paste this
Walk me through the calculation for [specific question — e.g., full load secondary current for a 50 kVA 7200/240V single-phase transformer]. Show the formula and each step.
Tips
Include specific numbers in the prompt — voltage, kVA rating, phase count — to get a calculation you can verify against a real job. If the explanation is confusing, ask "explain that like I've never seen this calculation before" for a simpler breakdown.
