TRANSFORMERS
Transformers
Static electrical devices
Function is to transform an alternating
voltage at one level to an alternating
voltage at another level without affecting
the actual power supplied
Transformation of voltages is required in
both power systems and in electronics
Power transmitted at low voltages-> very large
currents, huge voltage drops and power losses
Semi conductor devices operates at low
voltages
7
Two windings
Primary winding
coil connected to an alternating voltage
source
Secondary winding
delivers power to the load
Magnetic core
Magnetic flux, common to both windings
8
Principle of Operation
10
Faradays Laws
Faradays 1st Law: When the flux linking a
conductor or coil changes, an e.m.f. is induced
in it.
Faradays 2nd Law: The magnitude of the
induced e.m.f. in a coil is equal to the rate of
change of flux linkages.
12
Lenzs Law
An induced voltage will cause a current to flow
in a closed circuit in such a direction that its
magnetic effect will oppose the change that
produces it.

Shifting Impedances
Referred to primary: when secondary R or X (2 or 2 ) is
transferred to the primary it is multiplied by 2 .
Referred to secondary: when primary R or X (1 or 1 ) is
transferred to the secondary it is divided by 2 .
Eg: Shifting 2 to primary side:
Power losses should be the same.

Example 1
A 100 kVA transformer has 400 turns on the
primary and 80 turns on the secondary. The
primary and secondary resistances are 0.3
and 0.01 , respectively. Corresponding leakage
reactances are 1.1 and 0.035. The supply
voltage is 2200 V. Calculate the equivalent
impedance referred to the primary.
29
Example 2
240/24 V single phase transformer has the
following parameters.
R1=6, X1=20, R2=0.05, X2=0.18
When the transformer is supplied at 240 V on no
load, primary current is 0.02 A at p.f of 0.3 lagging.
Calculate the primary current , when the secondary
is connected to the load of (3.9+ 1.9 j)
30
Voltage Regulation
Real transformer has series impedances,
voltage drops
The output voltage varies with the load even if
the input voltage remains constant
Voltage regulation: a quantity that compares
the output voltage at no load with the output
voltage at full load
31
Transformer Taps
In real distribution transformers,
turns ratio is not fixed
a series of taps in the windings to permit small
changes in the turns ratio
32
Example 3
A 500-kVA, 13,200/480-V distribution
transformer has four 2.5 percent taps on its
primary winding. What are the voltage ratios of
this transformer at each tap setting?

Assignment
List and describe the types of losses that occur in a
transformer.
Discuss the importance of transformer cooling . Describe
the cooling methods used in different type of transformers
(eg. For transformers with high ratings, indoor
transformers, etc).
What is inrush current? What happens to a transformer
when it is first connected to a power line? Can anything be
done to mitigate this problem?
How can three-phase transformation be accomplished
using only two transformers? What types of connections
can be used? What are their advantages and
disadvantages?
