What is Eddy Current According to Lenz’s law, a conducting loop when subjected to varying magnetic field gets an emf induced into it causing flow of current in a direction opposing the change causing it. The case goes similar to when instead of a conducting closed loop, the change in magnetic field through a conducting… Continue reading Eddy Current Theory and Applications

Introduction of Efficiency of Transformer Transformers form the most important link between supply systems and load. Transformer’s efficiency directly affects its performance and aging. The transformer’s efficiency, in general, is in the range of 95 – 99 %. For large power transformers with very low losses, the efficiency can be as high as 99.7%. The… Continue reading Efficiency of Transformer

The ideal transformer has no losses. There is no magnetic leakage flux, ohmic resistance in its windings and no iron loss in the core. EMF Equation of Transformer N1 – number of turns in primary. N2 – number of turns in secondary. Φm – maximum flux in weber (Wb). T – time period. Time is taken for 1… Continue reading Ideal Transformer

The major parts of a single-phase transformer consist of; 1. Core The core acts as a support to the winding in the transformer. It also provides a low reluctance path to the flow of magnetic flux. The winding is wound on the core as shown in the picture. It is made up of a laminated… Continue reading Parts of a Single-phase Transformer

The transformer works on the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction and mutual induction. There are usually two coils primary coil and secondary coil on the transformer core. The core laminations are joined in the form of strips. The two coils have high mutual inductance. When an alternating current pass through the primary coil it creates… Continue reading Working Principle of a Transformer

Transformers are used in various fields like power generation grid, distribution sector, transmission and electric energy consumption. There are various types of transformers which are classified based on the following factors; Working voltage range. The medium used in the core. Winding arrangement. Installation location. Based on Voltage Levels Commonly used transformer type, depending upon voltage… Continue reading Transformer Types

A transformer is a device used in the power transmission of electric energy. The transmission current is AC. It is commonly used to increase or decrease the supply voltage without a change in the frequency of AC between circuits. The transformer works on basic principles of electromagnetic induction and mutual induction.
