Transformer
Transformer
An ideal transformer. The secondary current arises from the action of the secondary EMF on the (not shown) load impedance.
INDUCTION LAW:
Secondary coil
Primary coil
therefore,
LOSSES IN A TRANSFORMER:
Copper Loss- due to resistance in windings.
TRANSFORMER EFFICIENCY:
1) Power transformers: They are designed to operate with an almost constant load equals to their rating. 2) Distribution transformers: designed to have maximum efficiency between and of the full-load. 3) Auto transformers: used for starting induction motors.
4) Instrument transformers: current and voltage transformers are used to extend the range of the ac instruments.
