Study Notes
Ideal Transformer Characteristics
- In an ideal transformer, the primary and secondary are related by the turns ratio, which determines the voltage and current transformations.
Ideal Transformer Under Load
- When a load is connected across the secondary, the secondary voltage does not change because the ideal transformer maintains a constant turns ratio.
- The formula for calculating the secondary current (I2) in an ideal transformer under load is I2 = I1 * (N1 / N2), where I1 is the primary current, N1 is the primary turns, and N2 is the secondary turns.
- The primary must develop a magnetomotive force (MMF) to counterbalance the secondary MMF (N2I2) in an ideal transformer under load.
Ideal Transformer Circuits
- The primary to secondary turns ratio of the ideal transformer in a circuit is N1 : N2, where N1 is the primary turns and N2 is the secondary turns.
Solving Circuit Problems
- It is suggested to shift all impedances to the primary side of the transformer when solving circuit problems involving transformers to simplify the analysis.
Impedance Matching Transformers
- Impedance matching transformers are primarily used to match the impedance of a source to a load in AC work to maximize power transfer.
- A key characteristic of impedance matching transformers compared to power transformers is that they have a 1 : 1 turns ratio, which allows for maximum power transfer.
Instantaneous Current and Flux
- For the required instant-to-instant bucking effect in an ideal transformer under load, the instantaneous current in the primary must be equal and opposite to the instantaneous current in the secondary.
- The instantaneous current in the primary and secondary are related by the turns ratio (N1 : N2).
- The flux and Eg (induced voltage) in an ideal transformer under load are in phase.
- It is essential for an ideal transformer under load to have currents I1 and I2 in phase to maintain the ideal transformer operation.
