Study Notes
Equivalent Circuit of a Transformer
- Transformer analysis uses an equivalent circuit model
- The model considers finite winding resistances as lumped parameters
- Leakage fluxes are represented as leakage reactance
- Core loss current is modeled using a shunt resistance
- Core magnetization is modeled using a magnetizing reactance, a shunt branch
Quantities of Equivalent Circuit
- R1, R2: Primary and secondary winding resistances
- X1, X2: Primary and secondary leakage reactances
- Ro: Exciting resistance
- Xo: Exciting reactance
- I1: Primary side current
- Io: No-load current (excitation current component)
- Iw (or Ic1): Core-loss component of no-load current
- Iµ (or Im1): Magnetizing component of no-load current
- I'2: Secondary side current (load current)
- V1: Applied primary side voltage
- V2: Secondary side terminal voltage
- E1: Primary side induced emf
- E2: Secondary side induced emf
Transformer at No-load
- No current flows through the secondary (I2 = 0)
- Secondary winding doesn't affect primary current
- Transformer draws small no-load current (Io), typically 2-10% of rated value
- Io lags behind V1 by an angle (hysteresis angle of advance) less than 90°
- No-load current supplies core losses (hysteresis and eddy current) and a small amount of primary copper loss
Transformer on Load
- Secondary current (I2) is set up when loaded
- Magnitude and phase of I2 depend on load characteristics
- I2 lags V2 for inductive load, leads for capacitive load
- Applying KVL in primary and secondary circuits using equivalent circuits
Exact Equivalent Circuit
- Quantities can be referred to either the primary or secondary side of the transformer
- This transformation eliminates the transformer core, simplifying the circuit
- The resulting circuit is equivalent in terms of electrical behavior
Approximate Equivalent Circuit
- Simplifies the circuit using the assumption that induced EMF is equal to applied voltage V1
- Moves the shunt branch across the source voltage for approximation
Transformer Parameter Calculations
- Formulas are provided for determining various transformer parameters (resistance, reactance, impedance) in high and low voltage sides for specific examples.
Autotransformer
- Has a single winding, with primary and secondary not electrically isolated
- Uses less copper compared to a two-winding transformer
- Offers simpler construction and potentially lower cost
- Used when the transformation ratio is close to 1:1
Autotransformer Savings
- Calculates copper weight saving due to using an autotransformer versus a two-winding transformer
- The formula is provided based on the ratio of the turns
