Transformer
The Principle of Operation of a Transformer.
Transformer is an electrostatic device which transforms energy from a circuit to another by the Principle of Mutual Induction. The energy is transmit without change in frequencyby increasing or decreasing the voltage. The transformer is electrically isolated but magnetically coupled device.
Figure (i) shows a Single Phase Transformer with

In this transformer core surrounds considerable portion of winding.
EMF Equation of a transformer
Average emf perturn = 4f volts
R.M.S value of emf per turn = form factor X Average emf = 1.11 x 4 f (^) m = 4.44 f (^) m
Thus,
A = 0.03 m^2. The number of primary turn is 31 and that of secondary is 375. The area of the core is 0.03 m 2
Example 2 A 25 kVA transformers have 500 turns on primary and 50 turns on secondary windings. Primary winding is connected to 300 volts, 50 HZ supply. Find the full load primaryand secondary currents, the secondary e. m. f. and maximum flux in the core. Solution Transformer capacity = 25 kVA = 25x 10³ VA, N 1 = 500, N 2 =50, E1=3000 V, Frequency = 50 Hz
From transformation ratio, K= EE^21 = NN^2 1 = I^1 I 2 Hence, E 2 = N 2 x E 1 N 1 = 50 x 3000 E 2 = 300 V^500 E 1 I 1 = E 2 I 1 = 25000 VA So, EI 1 1 I= 25000^1 = 25000 and^ E^2 II^22 ==^2500025000 = 8.3 A^300 = 83.3 A^300 Since we know that, E 1 = 3000 V So, 4.44 x N1 x f x Ø (^) m = 3000
Øm = 3000 4.44 x 500 x 50 = 0. = 27.03 mWb
Secondary current = 83.3A, primary current = 8.3A, Secondary e.m.f. = 300 V and maximum flux in core = 27.03 mWb
Transformer on no-load
When transformer is on no-load, the secondary current IPrimary turns draw a small current namely no-load current, I 2 = 0.0.
No-load current, I^0 is consisting of two components: a)b) IIμ = I w = I oo cos ø (working component or loss component)sin ø (magnetizing component)
Vector Diagran Power drawn by Primary is given by W 0 = V 1 I 0 Cos
Power factor , cos = 0. = cos-1^ (0.2) = 78.46 0 I = I 0 sin = (15) sin 78.46= (15) (0.9798) = 14.7 A. Example 5 The no-load current of transformer is 4.0 A at 0.25 power factor, when supplied at 250V, 50Hz. Primary turns are 200.Calculate i) R.M.S value of flux ii) Magnetizing current, andiii) Loss current. Solution I 0 = 4.0 A, cos =0.25, E 1 =250 V, f = 50 Hz, N 1 =200. E 1 = 4.44 N 1 f (^) m 250 = 4.44 x 200 x 50 x (^) m m = 0.00563 Wb. i) R.M.S value of flux = m = 0. = 0.00398 Wb = 3.98 mWb ii) cos = 0.25= cos-1 (^) (0.25) = 75.25 0 I (^) W =^ I 0 cos (^0) = 4 x 0.25= 1 A iii) I = I 0 sin = 4 sin (75.25 0 ) = 4 x 0. = 3.87 A
Transformer under load Primary winding secondary winding
When transformer is loaded , it draw secondary current I2. Primary current is given by I 1 = I 0 + I (^) 2’ Where I ‘ 2 = k I 2 ( k is transformation ratio ) I 0 is no-load current I (^) 2’ = k I 2 load component of primary current
Load can be either resistive ,inductive or capacitive. Note a ) ln pure a.c resistive circuit the current is in phase with voltage. b) ln pure a.c inductive circuit the current lags the voltage by 90 0. c) ln pure a.c capacitive the current leads the voltage by 90 0. Example 6 A single phase transformer with a ratio of 440/ 110 V takes a no-load5 A at 0.2 power factor lagging .lf the secondary supplies a current of 120 A at 0.8 current of power factor lagging , determine the primary current. Solution E 1 = 440 V , E 2 =110 V , | Io | = 5 A , cos (^) 0= 0.2 lag , I 2 = 120 A., cos 2 = 0.8 lag Transformation ratio , k = = = 0. Cos 0= 0.2^ lag
cos 2 = 0.8 lag secondary current , I2 = 0 2 = cos^ -1^ (0.8)^ =50 A = 36.86 0
Load component of primary current I (^) 2 = (^) = 0.5 x 50k I^2 = 25 A primary current, I (^) 1 = I^0 + I^2 = (0.4 – j0.92) +=^1 + 25 (20 – j15) = 20.4 - j 15.92 A= 25.9A
Example 8 The number of turns on primary and secondary of a transformer are 350 and 38respectively. If primary is connected to 2.2 kV, 50 Hz supply determine i) Secondary voltage on no- load.ii) Primary current when secondary current is 200 A at 0.8 power factor lagging. If he no-load current is 5 A at 0.2 power factor lag, find the power factor of current. Solution N 1 = 350 , N 2 = 38 , E 1 = 2.2 kV =2200 V , f = 50 Hz , I 0 = 5 A. i) Transformation ratio k == = = 0. E 2 = k E 1 = 0.11 x 2200 = 239.8 V ii) = 200 A and cos 2 = 0.8 lag 2 = cos^ -1^ (0.8) I = 36.86^0 2 == 200^0 A
cos 0 = 0.2 I 0 = 0 = cos= 78.46^ -1^ (0.2) 0 = 5A
I 2 = k I 2 = 0.11 x 200 A = 22. A I (^) 1 = I 0 + I0 01 F 2 1 = 44.22 0 = 5A + 22. cos 1 = cos 44.22 0 = 0.717 lag = (1- j4.9) + (17.6- j13.2) power factor = 0.717 lag. # = 18.6 - j18.1= 25.95 A = (^1)
