Transformer Principles and Applications, Lecture notes of Environmental science

An introduction to transformers, explaining their working principle based on mutual induction. It discusses the relationship between the input and output voltages, as well as the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils. The document also covers the apparatus required, the circuit diagram, the procedure for conducting experiments, the uses of transformers, and potential sources of error. The detailed information on transformer theory, construction, and applications makes this document a valuable resource for students studying electrical engineering or physics, particularly those interested in power systems and electrical circuits.

As such transformers are built in an

amazing strength of sizes. In electronic,

measurement and control circuits,

transformer size may be so small that it

weight only a few tens of grams where

as in high voltage power circuits, it may

weight hundreds of tones.

In a transformer, the electrical energy

transfer from one circuit to another

circuit takes place without the use of

moving parts. A transformer which

increases the voltages is called a step

up transformer. A transformer which

decreases the A.C. voltages is called a

step-down transformer. Transformer is,

therefore, an essential piece of

apparatus both for high and low current

circuits.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the relation between

the ratio of:

  1. Input and output voltage.
  2. Number of turnings in the secondary coil and primary coil of a self-made transformer.

good transformer, whole of the magnetic flux linked with primary is also linked with the secondary, and then the induced e.m.f. induced in each turn of the secondary is equal to that induced in each turn of the primary. Thus if Ep and Es be the instantaneous values of the e.m.f.’s induced in the primary and the secondary and Np and Ns are the no. of turns of the primary secondary coils of the transformer and: dф / dt = rate of change of flux in each turnoff the coil at this instant, we have Ep = -Np dф/dt _______________ (1) And Es = -Ns dф/dt _______________ (2) Since the above relations are true at every instant, so by dividing 2 by 1, we get: Es / Ep = - Ns / Np ______________ (3) As Ep is the instantaneous value of back e.m.f induced in the primary coil p1, so the instantaneous current in primary coil is due to the difference (E – Ep ) in the

instantaneous values of the applied and back e.m.f. further if Rp is the resistance o, p1p2 coil, then the instantaneous current Ip in the primary coil is given by: Ip = E – Ep / Rp E – Ep = Ip Rp When the resistance of the primary is small, Rp Ip can be neglected so therefore: E – Ep = 0 or Ep = E Thus back e.m.f = input e.m.f Hence equation 3 can be written as: Es / Ep = Es / E = output e.m.f / input e.m.f = Ns / Np = K

Es > E so K > 1, hence Ns > Np As, k > 1, so Ip > Is or Is < Ip i.e. current in secondary is weaker when secondary voltage is higher. Hence, whatever we gain in voltage, we lose in current in the same ratio. Similarly it can be shown, that in a step down transformer, whatever we lose in voltage, we gain in current in the same ratio. Thus a step up transformer in reality steps down the current & a step down transformer steps up the current.

IN A STEP-DOWN TRANSFORMER:

Es < E so K < 1, hence Ns < Np

If Ip = value of primary current at the same instant And Is = value of secondary current at this instant, then Input power at the instant = Ep Ip and Output power at the same instant = Es Is If there are no losses of power in the transformer, then: Input power = output power Or Ep Ip = Es Is Or

60). This constitutes primary coil of the transformer.  Cover the primary coil with a sheet of paper and wound relatively smaller number of turns (say 20) of thick copper wire on it. This constitutes the secondary coil. It is a step down transformer.  Connect p1, p2 to A.C main and measure the input voltage and current using A.C voltmeter and ammeter respectively.  Similarly, measure the output voltage and current through s1and s2.  Now connect s1and s2to A.C main and again measure voltage and current through primary and secondary coil of step up transformer.  Repeat all steps for other self-made transformers by changing number of turns in primary and secondary coil.

USES OF TRANSFORMER

A transformer is used in almost all a.c.

operations:

 In voltage regulator for T.V., refrigerator, computer, air conditioner, etc.  A step down transformer is used for welding purposes.  A step down transformer is used for obtaining large current.  A step up transformer is used for the production of X-Rays and NEON advertisement.  Transformers are used in voltage regulators and stabilized power supplies.  Transformers are used in the transmissions of a.c. over long distances.  Small transformers are used in Radio sets, telephones, loud speakers and electric bells etc.

SOURCES OF ERROR

 Keep safe yourself from high voltage.  While taking the readings of current and voltage the A.C should remain constant.
