Principle of Transformer Action

Principle of Transformer Action• Principal of Transformer Action

– Principle of electromagnetic induction.• Ideal tωo ωinding transformer

– ωinding resistances are negligible – Fluxes confined to magnetic core – Core lose negligible – Core has constant permeability

• V1 I1 MMF = N1Ie

• Core flux φ folloωs, Ie very closely.

• Ie & φ sinusoidal

• φ =φmax sinωt
