Transformer
An A.C. device used to change high voltage low current A.C. into low
voltage high current A.C. and vice-versa without changing the frequency

In brief,

1. Transfers electric power from one circuit to another


2. It does so without a change of frequency
3. It accomplishes this by electromagnetic induction
4. Where the two electric circuits are in mutual inductive influence of each
other.
Principle of operation

It is based on principle of MUTUAL INDUCTION. According to


which an e.m.f. is induced in a coil when current in the neighbouring
coil changes.
Working of a transformer
1. When current in the primary coil changes being alternating in nature, a
changing magnetic field is produced
2. This changing magnetic field gets associated with the secondary through
the soft iron core
3. Hence magnetic flux linked with the secondary coil changes.
4. Which induces e.m.f. in the secondary.
Transformer Classification
– In terms of number of windings
• Conventional transformer: two windings
• Autotransformer: one winding
• Others: more than two windings

– In terms of number of phases


• Single-phase transformer
• Three-phase transformer

– Depending on the voltage level at which the winding is operated


• Step-up transformer: primary winding is a low voltage (LV) winding
• Step-down transformer : primary winding is a high voltage (HV) winding

The losses that occur in transformers have to be accounted for in any
accurate model of transformer behavior.
1. Copper (I2R) losses.
• Copper losses are the resistive heating losses in the primary and
secondary windings of the transformer. They are proportional to
the squareof the current in the windings.

2. 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.
Contd…,
3. 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.

4. 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 self-inductance in the primary and secondary coils, and the
effects of this inductance must be accounted for.

Usually the efficiency for a power transformer is between 0.9 to


0.99. The higher the rating of a transformer, the greater is its
efficiency.
