Transformer Operations

<^< Transformers | Course Index | Examples: Transformer Operations >^>(:nl:)

The primary and secondary windings of a transformer are wound on a common magnetic core. The alternating flux generated by the primary winding is therefore coupled into the secondary winding and very little flux is allowed to escape from the magnetic circuit.

A sinusoidal current flowing in the primary winding produces a sinusoidal flux. At any instant the flux in the transformer is given by the equation:

&#934; = &#934;'_max_' sin(2&#960;ft)

where &#934;'_max_' is the maximum value of flux (in Wb), f is the frequency of the applied current (in Hz), and t is the time in seconds.

The r.m.s. value of the primary voltage (VP) is given by:

V'_P_' = 4.44 f N'_P_' &#934;'_max_'

Similarly, the r.m.s. value of the secondary voltage (VS) is given by:

V'_S_' = 4.44 f N'_S_' &#934;'_max_'
