Introduction

A transformer is a device that converts one AC voltage to another AC voltage

at the same frequency. It consists of one or more coil(s) of wire wrapped

around a common ferromagnetic core. These coils are usually not connected

electrically together. However, they are connected through the common

magnetic flux confined to the core.

• It has no moving parts,

• No electrical connection between the primary and secondary windings,

• Windings are magnetically coupled,

• Rugged and durable in construction,

• Efficiency is very high i.e., more than 95 %,

• Frequency is unchanged.

Working Principle of Transformer

There are two types of windings in a single-phase transformer. These are called primary and secondary windings or coils. The primary winding is connected to the alternating voltage source and the secondary winding is connected to the load.

A sinusoidal current flows in the primary winding when it is connected to an alternating voltage source. This current establish a flux u which moves from the primary winding to the secondary winding through low reluctance magnetic core.

About 95 % of this flux moves from the primary to the secondary through the low reluctance path of the magnetic core and this flux is linked by the both windings and a small percent of this flux links to the primary winding.

According to the Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction, a voltage will be induced across the secondary winding as well as in the primary winding. Due to this voltage, a current will flow through the load if it is connected with the secondary winding. Hence, the primary voltage is transferred to the secondary winding without a change in frequency.

Flux in a Transformer

The current in the primary winding establishes a flux. The flux that moves from primary to secondary and links both the windings is called the mutual flux and its maximum value is represented by ϕm.

Flux which links only the primary winding and completes the magnetic path through the surrounding air is known primary leakage flux ϕ1l.

The secondary leakage flux ϕ2l is that flux which links only the secondary winding and completes the magnetic path through the surrounding air.

Ideal Transformer

An ideal transformer is one which does not supply any energy to the load i.e., the secondary winding is open circuited.

• No winding resistance,

• No leakage flux and leakage inductance,

• Self-inductance and mutual inductance are zero,

• No losses due to resistance, inductance, hysteresis or eddy current,

• Coefficient of coupling is unity.

The main points of an ideal transformer are

A small magnetizing current Im will flow in the primary winding when it is connected to the alternating voltage source, V1. This magnetizing current lags behind the supply voltage, V1 by 90° and produces the flux ϕ, which induces the primary and secondary emfs. These emfs lag behind the flux, ϕ by 90°. The magnitude of primary induced emf E1 and supply voltage V1 is the same, but are 180° out of phase.

The turns ratio is used to identify the step-up and step-down transformers.

According to Faraday’s laws, the induced emf in the primary e1 and the

secondary e2 windings are,

where a is the turns ratio of a transformer.

N2>N1, the transformer is called a step-up transformer.

transformer is equal to its output power and this yields,

Rules for Referring Impedance

For developing equivalent circuit of a transformer, it is necessary to refer the

parameters from the primary to the secondary or the secondary to the

primary. These parameters are resistance, reactance, impedance, current and

voltage.

The impedances in the primary and secondary windings are,

The impedance ratio is equal to the square of the turns ratio. The important

points for transferring parameters are

(i) R1 in the primary becomes (R1/a2) when referred to the secondary,

(ii) R2 in the secondary becomes (a2R2) when referred to the primary,

(iii) X1 in the primary becomes (X1/a2) when referred to the secondary,

(iv) X2 in the secondary becomes (a2X2) when referred to the primary.

Equivalent Circuit of a Transformer

The losses that occur in real transformers have to be accounted for in any accurate model of transformer behavior. The major items to be considered in the construction of such a model are

Copper (I2R) losses. Copper losses are the resistive heating losses in the primary and secondary windings of the transformer. They are proportional to the square of the current in the windings.

Eddy current losses. Eddy current losses are resistive heating losses in the core of the transformer. They are proportional to the square of the voltage applied to the transformer.

Hysteresis Losses. Hysteresis losses are associated with the rearrangement of the magnetic domains in the core during each half-cycle. They are a complex, nonlinear function of the voltage applied to the transformer.

Leakage flux. The fluxes which escape the core and pass through only one of the transformer windings are leakage fluxes. These escaped fluxes produce a leakage inductance in the primary and secondary coils, and the effects of this inductance must be accounted for.

16 Dr. Firas Obeidat Faculty of Engineering Philadelphia University

Equivalent Circuit of a Transformer

Windings of a transformer are not connected electrically. The windings are

magnetically coupled with each other. In the equivalent circuit, the related

parameters need to be transferred either from the primary to the secondary or

vice versa.

Copper losses are resistive losses in the primary and secondary windings of the

transformer core. They are modeled by placing a resistor R1 in the primary

circuit of the transformer and a resistor R2 in the secondary circuit.

The magnetization current im is a current proportional (in the unsaturated

region) to the voltage applied to the core and lagging the applied voltage by

90o, so it can be modeled by a reactance XM connected across the primary

voltage source.

The core-loss current ih+e is a current proportional to the voltage applied to the

core that is in phase with the applied voltage, so it can be modeled by a

resistance Rc connected across the primary voltage source.

The leakage flux will be modeled by primary inductor X1 and secondary

inductor X2.

Approximate Equivalent Circuit

The no-load current is very small as compared to the rated primary current.

Therefore, there is a negligible voltage drop due to R1 and X1. In this

condition, it can be assumed that the voltage drop across the no-load circuit is

the same as the applied voltage without any significant error. The approximate

equivalent circuit can be drawn by shifting the no-load circuit across the

supply voltage, V1.

Voltage Regulation of a Transformer

The voltage regulation (VR) of a transformer is defined as the difference

between the no-load terminal voltage (V2NL) to full load terminal voltage

(V2FL) and is expressed as a percentage of full load terminal voltage. It is

therefore can be expressed as,

𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 =𝑉2𝑁𝐿 − 𝑉2𝐹𝐿

𝑉2𝐹𝐿× 100%

𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 =

𝑉1𝑎 − 𝑉2𝐹𝐿

𝑉2𝐹𝐿× 100%

Since at no load, V2 = V1/a, the voltage regulation can also be expressed as

Usually it is a good practice to have as small a voltage regulation as possible.

For an ideal transformer, Voltage Regulation = 0 percent. It is not always a

good idea to have a low-voltage regulation, sometimes high-impedance and

high-voltage regulation transformers are deliberately used to reduce the

fault currents in a circuit.

Efficiency of a Transformer

The efficiency (η), of the transformer can be defined as the ratio of its output

power to the input power. Mathematically, it can be expressed as,

𝜂 =𝑃𝑜𝑢𝑡

𝑃𝑖𝑛× 100% =

𝑃𝑜𝑢𝑡

𝑃𝑜𝑢𝑡 + 𝑃𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠× 100%

There are three types of losses present in transformers:

1- Copper Losses

Copper losses occur due to the primary and the secondary resistances. The

full load copper losses can be determined as

𝑃𝑐𝑢 = 𝐼12𝑅1 + 𝐼2

2𝑅2

𝑃𝑐𝑢 = 𝐼22𝑅𝑒𝑞

𝑃𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝑉2𝐼2𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃2

𝑃𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠 = 𝑃𝑐𝑢 + 𝑃𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑛

Efficiency of a Transformer

2- Eddy Current Losses

A current will flow in that parts of the transformer. This current does not

contribute in output of the transformer but dissipated as heat. This current

is known as eddy current and the power loss due to this current is known as

eddy current loss. The eddy current loss Pe is directly proportional to the

square of the frequency (f ) times the maximum magnetic flux density Bm

and the eddy current loss can be expressed as,

𝑃𝑒 = 𝑘𝑒𝑓2𝐵𝑚2 where ke is the proportionality constant.

The iron loss of a transformer is often called as core loss, which is a result of

an alternating flux in the core of the transformer. The iron loss consists of

the eddy current loss and the hysteresis loss.

𝑃𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑛 = 𝑃𝑒 + 𝑃ℎ

𝑃ℎ = 𝑘ℎ𝑓𝐵𝑚𝑛

The hysteresis loss Ph is directly proportional to the frequency (f ) and 2.6th

power of the maximum magnetic flux density (Bm) and the expression of

hysteresis loss is

where kh is the proportionality constant.

3- Hysteresis Losses

n=1.5-2.5

Efficiency of a Transformer

Practically, hysteresis loss depends on the voltage and the eddy current loss

depends on the current. Therefore, total losses of the transformer depend on

the voltage and the current not on the power factor. That is why the

transformer rating is always represented in kVA instead of kW.

Transformer Tests

Open Circuit Test

The main objectives of the open circuit test are to determine the no-load

current and iron loss. The components of the no-load current are used to

determine the no-load circuit resistance and reactance.

In an open circuit test, the high voltage side is considered to be open circuit,

and the low voltage coil is connected to the source, where all measuring

instruments are connected in the low voltage side. A specific alternating

voltage is applied to the low voltage winding. Then the wattmeter will measure

the iron loss and small amount of copper loss. The ammeter and voltmeter will

measure the no-load current and the voltage, respectively. Since, the no-load

current is very small, the copper losses can be neglected.

Transformer Tests

Short Circuit Test

The main objectives of the short circuit test are to determine the equivalent

resistance, reactance, impedance and full load copper loss.

The supply voltage and the measuring instruments (e. g,. wattmeter, ammeter)

are connected to the high voltage side and the low voltage winding is

connected with ammeter. The voltage is adjusted until the current in the low

voltage winding is equal to the rated low voltage side current. Under this

condition, the wattmeter will measure the full load copper loss

The full load copper loss

and it can be written as

𝑃𝑠𝑐 = 𝑉𝑠𝑐𝐼𝑠𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃𝑠𝑐

Autotransformer

Autotransformer usually used in the educational laboratory as well as in the

testing laboratory.

An autotransformer has one continuous winding that is common to both the

primary and the secondary. Therefore, in an autotransformer, the primary

and secondary windings are connected electrically.

Autotransformer Advantages over a two-winding transformer

Instrument Transformers

The magnitude of the voltage and the current are normally high in the power

system networks. To reduce the magnitude of the voltage and current,

instrument transformers are used.

The current transformer is connected

in series with the line to step down the

high magnitude of the current to a

rated value for the ammeter and the

current coil of the wattmeter.

The potential transformer is used to

step down to the voltage to a suitable

value of the voltage at the secondary

for supplying the voltmeter and the

voltage coil of the wattmeter.
