Io = Ife + IM
Io = exciting current
Io provides the “magnetizing flux” and the “core loss”
Ife = core-loss current Ife = VT / Rfe
IM = magnetizing current IM = VT / jXM

Secondary current will set up an mmf in OPPOSITION
to the primary mmf. The core flux will DECREASE to
12. ECE 441 12
The decrease in flux causes a decrease in the
counter-emf EP, and the primary current will increase
by an amount known as IP,load, the load component
of the primary current. Additional mmf due to this
current adds to the magnetizing flux.
