Hi again,

Please see this discussion and sample problem regarding primary and
secondary transformers:
http://hsc.csu.edu.au/physics/core/motors/2697/PHY934net.htm#net9

The relationship between coils and voltages is given by

V_p / V_s = n_p / n_s

where V_p = primary voltage
          V_s = secondary voltage
          n_p = primary turns
          n_s = secondary turns

Solving for n_s, we have

n_s = n_p * (V_s / V_p)

Substituting,

n_s = 345 * (24 V / 115 V) = 72

So, the secondary coil has 72 turns.


I hope this was helpful.  Please feel free to request clarification.
