Emf Equation of Transformer

EMF Equation of transformer can be established in a very easy way. Actually in electrical power transformer, one alternating electrical source is applied to the primary winding and due to this, magnetizing currentflowing through the primary winding which produces alternating flux in the core of transformer. This flux links with both primary and secondary windings. As this flux is alternating in nature, there must be a rate of change of flux. According to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction if any coil or conductor links with any changing flux, there must be an induced emf in it. emf equation
As the current source to primary is sinusoidal, the flux induced by it will be also sinusoidal. Hence, the function of flux may be considered as a sine function. Mathematically, the derivative of that function will give a function for the rate of change of flux linkage with respect to time. This latter function will be a cosine function since d(sinθ)/dt = cosθ. So, if we derive the expression for rms value of this cosine wave and multiply it with the number of turns of the winding, we will easily get the expression for RMS value of induced emf of that winding. In this way, we can easily derive the emf equation of transformer.
secondary induced voltage ideal transformer
Let’s say, T is number of turns in a winding,
Φm is the maximum flux in the core in Wb.

As per Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction,

Where φ is the instantaneous alternating flux and represented as,

As the maximum value of cos2πft is 1, the maximum value of induced emf e is,

To obtain the rms value of induced counter emf, divide this maximum value of e by √2.

This is the EMF equation of transformer.
If E1 & E2 are primary and secondary emfs and T1 & T2 are primary and secondary turns then, voltage ratio or turns ratio of transformer is,

Transformation Ratio of Transformer

This constant is called transformation ratio of transformer , if T2>T1, K > 1, then the transformer is step up transformer. If T2 < T1, K < 1, then the transformer is step down transformer.

Voltage Ratio of Transformer

This above stated ratio is also known asvoltage ratio of transformer if it is expressed as ratio of the primary and secondary voltages of transformer.

Turns Ratio of Transformer

As the voltage in primary and secondary of transformer is directly proportional to the number of turns in the respective winding, the transformation ratio of transformer is sometime expressed in ratio of turns and referred as turnsratio of transformer .

Shell Type Transformer: What is it? And it's Applications

D epending on the construction of its magnetic core, we can categorize transformers into two types: Shell Type Transformer Core Type Transformer Core of Shell Type Transformer We use ‘E’s and ‘L’s shape laminations to make the core of the shell-type transformer . Limb of Shell Type Transformer The core of a single phase shell type transformer is constructed with of three limbs (legs). This design increases the mechanical strength of the core. It also improves the protection of windings from external mechanical shocks. The HV and LV windings are wound around the central limb. The central limb carries the entire flux (φ), whereas the side limbs carry half of the flux (φ/2). Hence, to accommodate the flux the cross-section of the central limb is twice than that of the side limbs. The magnetic flux flows through two closed magnetic paths which decrease the core losses and hence increase the efficiency of transformer . So, shell type transformer gives more output compared to similar c

Auto Transformer: What is it? (Definition, Theory & Diagram)

W hat is an Autotransformer? An autotransformer (or auto transformer ) is a type of electrical transformer with only one winding. The “auto” prefix refers to the single coil acting alone (Greek for “self”) – not to any automatic mechanism. An auto transformer is similar to a two winding transformer but varies in the way the primary and secondary winding of the transformer are interrelated. Autotransformer Theory In an auto transformer, one single winding is used as primary winding as well as secondary winding. But in two windings transformer two different windings are used for primary and secondary purpose. A circuit diagram of auto transformer is shown below. The winding AB of total turns N 1 is considered as primary winding. This winding is tapped from point ′C′ and the portion BC is considered as secondary. Let’s assume the number of turns in between points ′B′ and ′C′ is N 2 . If V 1 voltage is applied across the winding i.e. in between ′A′ and ′C′. Hence, the voltage acro

Hysteresis Eddy Current Iron or Core Losses and Copper Loss in Transformer

Losses in Transformer As the electrical transformer is a static device, mechanical loss in transformer normally does not come into picture. We generally consider only electrical losses in transformer . Loss in any machine is broadly defined as difference between input power and output power. When input power is supplied to the primary of transformer , some portion of that power is used to compensate core losses in transformer i.e. Hysteresis loss in transformer and Eddy current loss in transformer core and some portion of the input power is lost as I 2 R loss and dissipated as heat in the primary and secondary windings, because these windings have some internal resistance in them. The first one is called core loss or iron loss in transformer and the later is known as ohmic loss or copper loss in transformer . Another loss occurs in transformer, known as Stray Loss, due to Stray fluxes link with the mechanical structure and winding conductors. Copper Loss in Transformer Copper loss
