CFVV vs VFVV

Transformer action
 Transformer equation V= 4.44 Ø f N Eqn -1
• Where E= Induced voltage
• Ø = Max flux.
• F= frequency
• N = number of turns

 From eqn-1: Ø = V/4.44 f N

This means that flux is directly proportional to voltage
and inversely proportional to number of turns and
frequency.
Transformer Action

 Also N1/N2 = V1/V2 Eqn-2

 From this equation it can be equated that V1/N1
equals V2/N2.
 This means that the voltage per turn in a
transformer remains same throughout irrespective
of primary or secondary winding.
Voltage changing
 In order to vary the secondary voltage of
transformer we have two options
a) Change the number of turns of primary
b) Change the number of turns of secondary
 To increase the voltage on the secondary we
have to either increase the no of turns on
secondary side or decrease the number of turns
on primary side.

 When the turns are changed on primary side, due

to variation of incoming voltage on primary side,
the control is called constant flux variable voltage
control.
 Because under this condition, due to decrease in
incoming voltage, the number of turns are on
primary side are decreased in order to increase
the secondary voltage.
 So in this case, (Ø = V/4.44 f N) the ratio of V/N
remains constant .

 When the turns are changed on secondary side,
due to variation of incoming voltage on primary
side, the control is called variable flux variable
voltage control.
 Because under this condition, due to decrease in
incoming voltage, the number of turns are on
Secondary side are increased in order to increase
the secondary voltage.
 So in this case, (Ø = V/4.44 f N) the ratio of V/N
does not remain constant .
