Study Notes
Single Phase System Overview
- A single phase electric power system is a fundamental alternating current (AC) system.
- Voltage and current fluctuate in magnitude and direction cyclically, typically at frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz.
- A four poles single phase system is indicated, highlighting its configuration.
Characteristics of AC Signals
- The voltage can be expressed as:
v(t) = Vmax sin(ωt)- Vmax represents the maximum amplitude of the wave.
- ω indicates the angular frequency of the wave.
Average and RMS Values in AC Signals
- The average voltage over one period (T) for a sine wave is zero:
vave = (1/T) ∫ from 0 to T Vmax sin(ωt) dt = 0 - The root mean square (RMS) value is calculated using the formula:
vrms = (1/T) ∫ from 0 to T (Vmax sin(ωt))^2 dt = Vmax/√2
Polar Form Representation
- Complex impedance can be represented in polar form as:
Z = x + jy = A∠ϕ = A(cos ϕ + j sin ϕ)- A indicates the magnitude, while ϕ represents the phase angle.
Ampere’s Law
- Aims to relate current in a closed loop with the magnetic field produced.
- Magneto-motive force (MMF) is given by the sum of Ni, where N is the number of turns and i is the current.
- Under uniform area (Ac) and high permeability magnetic materials, the relationship simplifies to MMF = Hl.
Faraday’s Law
- A changing magnetic field induces an electric field in space.
- The line integral of electric field intensity (E) around a closed loop equals the rate of magnetic flux through the surface defined by that loop.
- Induced voltage (EMF) is defined as e(t) = dφ/dt = N(dλ/dt), representing voltage due to changing flux linkage.
Magnetic Field Concepts
- Magnetic field intensity (H) has units of A·turn/m and represents the effort required to create a magnetic field.
- Magnetic flux density (B) is measured in tesla (T) and indicates the amount of magnetic flux per unit area in a core.
B-H Curve and Relationships
- The relationship between flux density (B) and magnetic field intensity (H) is expressed as B = μH, where μ = μ₀μᵣ.
- Magnetic permeability (μ) indicates how easily a material can support the formation of a magnetic field.
Types of Magnetic Materials
- Ferromagnetic: Composed of iron, nickel, cobalt, and their alloys; these materials can retain magnetization.
- Paramagnetic: Include platinum and aluminum; they do not retain magnetization without an external magnetic field.
- Diamagnetic: Composed of materials like carbon and copper; they resist an applied magnetic field.
Ferromagnetism
- Ferromagnetic materials can become permanently magnetized once exposed to an external magnetic field.
- Two categories of ferromagnetic materials: soft (easily magnetized and demagnetized) and hard (permanent magnets).
Magnetic Flux
- Total magnetic flux (φ) is calculated as the surface integral of the normal component of B, expressed as φ = ∫B·da.
- Assuming uniform B across Ac, it simplifies to φ = BcAc.
Reluctance and Permeance
- Reluctance (R) quantifies a material's opposition to magnetic flux and is given by R = lc/(μcAc).
- Permeance represents the ease of magnetic flux and is the inverse of reluctance, measured in A·turns/Wb.
Impact of Air Gaps
- Air gaps in magnetic circuits affect flux distribution and may require consideration of fringing effects if the gap area (Ag) is larger than the core area (Ac).
Magnet Basics
- Magnets attract objects and have aligned poles with Earth's magnetic field.
- Magnetic field lines extend from the north to the south pole of a magnet, reflecting the orientation of magnetic domains.
Magnetic Circuit Principles
- A current-carrying wire generates a magnetic field, influencing transformer action, motor action, and generator action.
- Magnetic circuits typically consist of current, wire coils, and ferromagnetic materials.
Maxwell’s Equations
- Fundamental principles governing electromagnetism include Gauss’s laws for electricity and magnetism, Faraday's law, and Ampere's law, encapsulating the behavior of electric and magnetic fields.
Excitation Current and Induced EMF
- Excitation current is present in transformers and comprises primary and secondary sides.
- Induced EMF determined by Faraday's law: ( e_1 = N_1 \frac{d\phi}{dt} ).
- Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) gives equation ( v_1 = R_1 i_\phi + e_1 ).
- With negligible resistance, ( e_1 = wN_1\phi_{\text{max}} \cos(wt) ), indicating EMF leads magnetic flux by 90 degrees.
- RMS voltage ( E_{1rms} = \frac{E_{\text{peak}}}{\sqrt{2}} ) correlates to highest flux under sine waveform conditions.
Characteristics of Excitation Current
- Excitation current displays a non-sinusoidal waveform, influenced by magnetic material properties.
- Two components of excitation current:
- Magnetizing Current (I_M): Required for flux generation, lags EMF.
- Core Loss Current (I_c): Compensates for losses due to hysteresis and eddy currents, in phase with EMF.
- Core losses expressed as ( P_c = E_1 I_c = E_1 I_\phi \cos(\theta_c) ).
Ideal Transformer Principles
- Assumes zero winding resistances, no core losses, and high permeability.
- Voltage and current transformation formula: ( \frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{N_1}{N_2} ) and ( \frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{N_2}{N_1} ).
- Apparent power and induced parameters change according to turns ratio ( a ).
Power Measurement in Transformers
- Input power ( P_{in} = P_1 = V_1 I_1 \cos(\theta_1) ) and output power ( P_{out} = P_2 = V_2 I_2 \cos(\theta_2) ).
- In ideal transformers, ( P_1 = P_2 ) and reactive power ( Q_1 = Q_2 ).
Rated Values and Transformations
- Calculation based on a single-phase transformer example with specifications:
- Rated voltages: 120/12.6 V, 25 VA, 60 Hz.
- Rated primary current ( I_{1,\text{rat}} = 0.2 , A ) and secondary current ( I_{2,\text{rat}} = 1.98 , A ).
- Induced impedance transformation shows changes in voltage, current, and impedance due to turns ratio.
Real Transformer Losses
- Losses include copper losses (resistive), eddy current losses, and hysteresis losses.
- Leakage flux characterizing transformer efficiency.
Equivalent Circuit Representations
- An equivalent circuit includes elements for resistive losses, leakage flux, and the decomposition of input current into excitation and load current.
- Excitation current consists of core loss current (resistive, in-phase) and magnetization current (reactive, lagging).
Testing for Equivalent Circuit Components
- Open Circuit Test: Focuses on core losses, typically performed on HV side to determine ( R_c ) and ( X_M ).
- Short Circuit Test: Assesses equivalent resistance and reactance, performed on the LV side to find ( R_{eq} = R_1 + R_2 ) and ( X_{eq} = X_1 + X_2 ).
- Excitation current in good conductors can be approximated to be 2-3% of input current and is often neglected in calculations.
