INTRODUCTION
• The transformer is one of the most useful electrical devices ever
invented.
• It can change the magnitude of alternating voltage or current from
one value to another.
• Transformers have no moving parts, rugged and durable in
construction.
• They also have a very high efficiency — about 99%.
• It essentially consists of two windings, the primary and secondary,
wound on a common laminated magnetic core.
• The winding connected to the a.c. source is called primary winding
and the one connected to load is called secondary winding.

INTRODUCTION (Contd.)
The alternating voltage V1 is applied to the primary.
The induced e.m.f. E2 in the secondary causes a secondary current I2.
Consequently, terminal voltage V2 will appear across the load.

4
WORKING PRINCIPLE
• When an alternating voltage V1 is applied to the primary, an
alternating flux Φ is set up in the core.
• The flux links both the windings and induces e.m.f.s E1 and E2 in them
according to Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction.
E1= − N1

• Number of turns of primary is N1 and that of secondary is N2.
• Magnitudes of E2 and E1 depend upon the number of turns on the
secondary and primary respectively.

5
WORKING PRINCIPLE (Contd.)
Points to note:
i) The transformer action is based on the laws of electromagnetic
induction.
ii) There is no electrical connection between the primary and
secondary.
iii) The a.c. power is transferred from primary to secondary through
magnetic flux.
iv) There is no change in frequency i.e., output power has the same
frequency as the input power.
v) The losses that occur in a transformer are:
a) core losses — eddy current and hysteresis losses
b) copper losses — due to resistance of windings

6
CONSTRUCTION OF A TRANSFORMER
i) The core is made of silicon steel having low hysteresis loss and
high permeability.
ii) Core is laminated and electrically separated by a thin coating of
insulating material in order to reduce eddy current loss and the no-
load current.
iii) Instead of placing primary on one limb and secondary on the other
one-half of each winding is wound on one limb to ensure tight
coupling between the two windings and reduce flux leakage.
iv) The winding resistances R1 and R2 are minimized to reduce I2R
loss, reduce winding temperature and to ensure high efficiency.
Types of Transformers
The manner in which the primary and secondary are wound on the
core, transformers are of two types (i) core-type and (ii) shell-type

7
CONSTRUCTION OF A TRANSFORMER (Contd.)
Core-type transformer
• In a core-type transformer, there is a
single path for the magnetic circuit.
• Half of the primary winding and half of
the secondary winding are placed
round each limb to reduce flux leakage.
Shell-type transformer
• Both the windings are placed round the
central limb to make double path for
magnetic circuit
• The other two limbs provide a low-
reluctance flux path.

8
Windings
• The windings consist of the current-carrying insulated copper
conductors wound around the sections of the core.
• The windings are usually arranged concentrically around the core leg.
• Concentric coils are typically wound over cylinders with spacers
attached so as to form a duct between the conductors and the
cylinder.
• The flow of liquid through the windings is based on natural
convection, and is controlled by using the barriers placed within the
winding.

Accessory Equipment
Liquid-Level Indicator
A liquid-level indicator is a standard feature on liquid-filled transformer
tanks, since the liquid medium is critical for cooling and insulation.
Pressure-Relief Devices
Pressure-relief devices are mounted on transformer tanks to relieve
excess internal pressures that might build up during operating conditions.
Liquid-Temperature Indicator
Liquid-temperature indicators measure the temperature of the internal
liquid.
Winding-Temperature Indicator
A winding-temperature simulation method is used to approximate the
hottest spot in the winding.

10
Accessory Equipment (Contd.)
Sudden-Pressure Relay
A sudden- (or rapid-) pressure relay is intended to indicate a quick
increase in internal pressure that can occur when there is an internal fault
Desiccant (Dehydrating) Breathers
Desiccant breathers use a material such as silica gel to allow air to
enter and exit the tank, removing moisture as the air passes through.
Liquid-Preservation Systems
Liquid-temperature indicators measure the temperature of the internal
liquid

11
Liquid-Preservation Systems
• Preservation systems isolates the
transformer’s internal environment
from the external environment.
• Conservator system involve the use
of a separate auxiliary tank.
• The auxiliary tank is allowed to
“breathe,” usually through a
dehydrating breather
Buchholz Relay
Its purpose is to detect faults that may occur in the transformer resulting
in generation of gases.

12
Cooling of Transformers
Heat is produced in a transformer by the iron losses in the core and I2R
loss in the windings.
To prevent undue temperature rise, this heat is removed by cooling.
• In small transformers (< 50 kVA), natural air cooling is sufficient
• Medium size power or distribution transformers are cooled by
housing them in tanks filled with oil.
• For large transformers, external radiators are added to increase the
cooling surface of the oil filled tank.
• The oil circulates around the transformer and moves through the
radiators where the heat is released to surrounding air.
• Sometimes cooling fans blow air over the radiators to accelerate the
cooling process.

14
IDEAL TRANSFORMER
• No winding resistance, no leakage flux and no iron losses in the cor
• When an alternating voltage V1 is applied to the primary, it draws a small
magnetizing current Im which lags behind the applied voltage by 90°.
• Im produces an alternating flux Φ which is proportional to and in phase with it
• The alternating flux Φ induces e.m.f. E1 in the primary and e.m.f. E2 in the
secondary.
• E1 is equal to and in opposition to V1 (Lenz’s law) and both E1 and E2 lag
behind flux Φ by 90°

15
E.M.F. EQUATION OF A TRANSFORMER
An alternating voltage V1 of frequency f is applied to the primary
The sinusoidal flux f produced by the primary can be represented as:
f= fm sin wt
The instantaneous e.m.f. e1 induced in the primary is:
e1 = – N1
dϕ

= 2p f N1fm sin (ωt – 90o) (i)
= Em1 sin(ωt - 90o)Em1 = 2 πfN1ϕm
It is clear from above equation that e.m.f. e1 induced in the primary
lags behind the flux f by 90°.

16
E.M.F. EQUATION OF A TRANSFORMER (Contd.)
Maximum value of induced e.m.f. in the primary is:
Em1= 2p f N1ϕm
The r.m.s. value E1 of the primary e.m.f. is
E1 =
Em1

=
2π f N1ϕm

or E1 = 4.44 f N1 ϕm = 4.44 f N1BmA
Similarly E2 = 4.44 f N2ϕm = 4.44 f N2BmA
where ϕm= Bm (flux density) x A (cross-sectional area of core)
In an ideal transformer, E1 = V1 and E2 =V2.

WINDING POLARITY
Dot Convention
• It is not possible to tell the secondary
polarity of ideal transformer unless its
windings are physically examined.
• To overcome the problem dot convention
of transformer winding is used
• The dot appearing on end of the winding tells the polarity of voltage
and currents of secondary side.
• If the primary voltage is positive at the dotted end of the winding, then
the secondary voltage will be positive at the dotted end also.
• If the primary current of the transformer flows into the dotted end of the
primary, the secondary current will flow out of the dotted end of
secondary
• •

25
POWER IN IDEAL TRANSFORMER
The power supplied to the transformer by the primary circuit is given as:
Pin = V1 I1 cos Φ1
Φ1 is the angle between the primary voltage and primary current.
The power supplied by the transformer secondary circuit to its load is as:
Pout = V2 I2 cos Φ2
Φ2 is the angle between the secondary voltage and secondary current.
Since voltage and current angles are unaffected by an ideal transformer
Φ1 - Φ2 = 0
Primary and secondary windings of an ideal transformer have the same
power factor

26
POWER IN IDEAL TRANSFORMER (Contd.)
Comparison of Input and Output Power
The output power of a transformer is:
Pout = V2 I2 cos Φ
Applying the transformation ratio: V2 = V1 x K and I2 = I1 / K
Pout = (V1 x K) (I1 / K ) cos Φ
Pout = V1 I1 cos Φ = Pin
Thus, output power of an ideal transformer is equal to its input power.
The same relationship applies to reactive power and apparent power.

27
PRACTICAL TRANSFORMER
Iron Losses
• The iron losses depend upon the supply frequency, core volume
and maximum flux density in the core
• Magnitude of iron losses is quite small in a practical transformer.
Winding Resistances
When current flows through the windings, there will be power loss and
a loss in voltage due to IR drop, hence, E1 will be less than V1
whereas V2 will be less than E2.Lecture Notes by Dr.R.M.Larik

28
PRACTICAL TRANSFORMER (Contd.)
Leakage Reactances
• Primary current produces some flux Φ1 not linked with the secondary
winding
• Secondary current produces some flux Φ2 not linked with the primary
winding.
• The primary and secondary leakage flux Φ1 , Φ2 introduce inductive
reactances X1 and X2 in series with the primary and secondary windings

29
Transformer on No Load
• The primary will draw a small current I0 to supply the iron losses and
small amount of copper loss.
• Hence, primary no load current I0 is not 90° behind the applied
voltage V1 but lags it by an angle Φ0 < 90°
• The component IW, in phase with the applied voltage V1, is known as
active (working) or iron loss component and supplies the iron loss
and a small primary copper loss. IW = I0 cos Ф0Lecture Notes by Dr.R.M.Larik

30
Transformer on No Load (Contd.)
• The component Im lagging behind V1 by 90°, known as magnetizing
component, produces the mutual flux Φ in the core.
Im= I0 sin ϕ0
Clearly, I0 is phasor sum of Im and IW,
hence, Io = Im
2
+ IW

No load p,f, cosϕo =
IW
Io
• No load primary copper loss (i.e. I0
2 R1 ), being very small, may be
neglected, hence:
No load input power, W0 = Iron loss = V1 I0cosΦ0
• At no load, there is no secondary current so V2 = E2 and on the
primary side, the drops in R1 and X1are very small, hence V1 = E1.

• In the case of inductive load the
current I2 lags behind V2 (or E2) by Φ2.

35
LOADING OF TRANSFORMER (Contd.)
Ideal Transformer on Load (Contd.)
• I2 sets up an m.m.f. N2 I2which produces a flux Φ2, in the opposite direction
to the main flux Φ (set up in the primary by the magnetizing current),
changing the main flux in the core and back e.m.f E1 tends to be reduced
• Momentarily the V1 gains upper hand over E1 and causes more current to
flow in the primary and the primary develops an m.m.f. which exactly
counterbalances the secondary m.m.f. N2 I2.
• The primary current I1 flows such that:
N1 I1 = N2 I2
I1 =
N2
N1
I2 = K I2
• Thus as the secondary current increases, the primary current I1(= K I2 ) also
increases to keep the mutual flux Φ constant.
• The power input automatically increases with increase in output.

i) ϕ1 = ϕ2

ii) Since there are no losses in an ideal transformer, input primary
power is equal to the secondary output power i.e.,

TRANSFORMER TESTS
Open-Circuit or No-Load Test
• The rated voltage is applied to the low-voltage (primary) winding while
the high voltage side is left open-circuited.
• The applied primary voltage V1 is measured by the voltmeter, the no
load current I0 by ammeter and no-load input power W0 by wattmeter.
• As the normal rated voltage is applied to the primary, the normal iron
losses will occur in the transformer core.
• Wattmeter will record the iron losses and small copper loss in the
primary.
• Since no-load current I0 is very small the Cu losses in the primary
under no-load condition are negligible as compared with iron losses.
• Wattmeter reading practically gives the iron losses in the transformer.

Short-Circuit or Impedance Test
• The test is conducted to determine R01 (or R02), X01 (or X02) and full-
load copper losses of the transformer.
• In the test, the secondary (usually low-voltage winding) is short-
circuited by a thick conductor and variable low voltage is applied to
the primary
Equivalent circuit

78
Short-Circuit or Impedance Test (Contd.)
• The input voltage is gradually raised till full-load current I1 flows in the
primary then I2 in the secondary also has full-load value since I1/I2 =
N2/N1
• Under this condition, the copper loss in the windings is the same as
that on full load.
• There is no output from the transformer under short-circuit conditions,
hence, input power is all loss and this loss is almost entirely copper
loss as iron loss in the core is negligibly small since the voltage VSC is
very small.
• The wattmeter will practically register the full-load copper losses in the
transformer windings.
• The equivalent circuit of a transformer on short circuit has been
referred to primary; the no-load current negligibly small.Lecture Notes by Dr.R.M.Larik

TRANSFORMER LOSSES
Core or Iron losses
• The core or iron losses consist of hysteresis and eddy current losses
and occur in the transformer core due to the alternating flux.
• These can be determined by open-circuit test.
• Iron or Core losses, Pi = Hysteresis loss + Eddy current loss =
Constant losses
• The hysteresis loss can be minimized by using steel of high silicon
content
• The eddy current loss can be reduced by using core of thin
laminations.

81
TRANSFORMER LOSSES (Contd.)

• Copper losses vary as the square of load current, thus, if copper
losses are 400 W at a load current of 10 A, they will be (1/2)2 x
400 = 100 W at a load current of 5A.
• Total losses in a transformer = Pi + PC = Constant losses +
Variable losses
• In a transformer, copper losses are about 90% of the total losses.

82
EFFECIENCY OF TRANSFORMER
• Efficiency of a transformer is defined as:
Efficiency =
Output power
Input power
=
Output power
Output power +Losses
• Efficiency can be determined by directly loading the transformer and
measuring the input power and output power, however, such method has the
following drawbacks:
– Since the efficiency of a transformer is very high, even 1% error in each
wattmeter (output and input) may give ridiculous results and the test may
give efficiency even higher than 100%.
– While performing test of transformer on load, considerable amount of
power is wasted.
– It is generally difficult to have a device that can absorb all the output power.
– The test gives no information about the proportion of various losses.
• In practice, open-circuit and short-circuit tests are carried out to find the
efficiency.

87
AUTOTRANSFORMER (Contd.)
• I1 is the input current and I2 is the output or load current.
• Regardless of autotransformer connection (step-up or step-down),
the current in the common portion of the winding is the difference
between I1 and I2.
• The relative direction of the current through the common portion of
the winding depends upon the connections of the autotransformer.
• In an ideal autotransformer, exciting current and losses are
neglected.
• In such autotransformer, as K approaches 1, the value of current in
the common portion (I2 - I1 or I1 - I2) of the winding approaches zero.
• For value of K near unity, the common portion of the winding can be
wound with wire of smaller cross-sectional area requiring less
copper.

88
Advantages
• Requires less Cu than a two-winding transformer of similar rating.
• Operates at a higher efficiency than a two-winding transformer of
similar rating.
• It has better voltage regulation than a two-winding transformer of
the same rating.
• Smaller size than a two-winding transformer of the same rating.
• Requires smaller exciting current than a two-winding transformer
of the same rating.
Disadvantages
It is not safe for stepping down HV to LV as in the event of an open
circuit in the common portion of the winding full-primary voltage
will appear across the load.

91
PARALLEL OPERATION OF SINGLE-PHASE TRANSFORMERS
• Two transformers are said to
be connected in parallel if the
primary windings are
connected to supply busbars
and secondary windings are
connected to load busbars.
• While connecting two or more
transformers in parallel, it is
essential that their terminals of
similar polarities are joined to
the same busbars
• The wrong connections may result in a dead short-circuit and
transformers may be damaged unless protected by fuses or circuit
breakers.

92
PARALLEL OPERATION OF SINGLE-PHASE TRANSFORMERS (Contd.)
The main reasons for connecting transformers in parallel are:
• If one transformer fails, the continuity of supply can be maintained
through other transformers.
• When the load on the substation becomes more than the capacity of the
existing transformers, another transformer can be added in parallel.
• Any transformer can be taken out of the circuit for repair/ routine
maintenance without interrupting supply to the consumers.
Conditions for Parallel Operation
• Transformers should be properly connected with regard to their polarities.
• The voltage ratings and voltage ratios of the transformers should be the
same.
• Per unit or percentage impedances of the transformers should be equal.
• The reactance/ resistance ratios of the transformers should be the same.

93
THREE-PHASE TRANSFORMER
• A three-phase system is used to generate and transmit electric
power.
• Three phase voltages are raised or lowered by means of three-
phase transformers.
• A three-phase transformer can be built in two ways:
i) By suitably connecting a bank of three single-phase
transformers
ii) By constructing a three-phase transformer on a common
magnetic structure.
• In either case, the windings may be connected in Y - Y,  - , Y - 
or  - Y

94
THREE-PHASE TRANSFORMER (Contd.)
Bank of three single-phase transformers (Contd.)
• Three similar single-phase transformers can be connected to form a
three-phase transformer.
• The primary and secondary windings may be connected in star (Y) or
delta () arrangement.

95
Three-Phase Transformer Connections
• Three-phase transformer can be constructed by having three primary
and three secondary windings on a common magnetic circuit.
• The three single-phase core type transformers, each with windings
(primary and secondary) on only one leg have their unwound legs
combined to provide a path for the returning flux.

96
Three-Phase Transformer Connection (Contd.)
• The primaries as well as secondaries may be connected in star or delta
• Since the phasor sum of three primary currents is zero, the sum of
three fluxes passing through the central limb must be zero, hence, no
flux exists in the central limb and it may be eliminated.
• For the same capacity, a 3-phase transformer weighs less, occupies
less space and costs about 20% less than a bank of three single-phase
transformers.
• In the case of three-phase transformer if one phase becomes defective,
the entire three-phase unit must be removed from service.
• When one transformer in a bank of three single-phase transformers
becomes defective, it may be removed from service and the other two
may be reconnected to supply service on an emergency basis.

PARALLEL OPERATION OF 3-PHASE TRANSFORMERS
All the conditions which apply to the parallel operation of single-phase
transformers also apply to the parallel operation of 3-phase transformers
but with the following additions:
• The voltage ratio must refer to the terminal voltage of primary and
secondary. It is obvious that this ratio may not be equal to the ratio of
the number of turns per phase. For example For example, if V1, V2
are the primary and secondary terminal voltages, then for Y/
connection, the turn ratio is V2/ (V1 / 3) = 3V2 /V1.
• The phase displacement between primary and secondary voltages
must be the same for all transformers which are to be connected for
parallel operation.
• The phase sequence must be the same.

PARALLEL OPERATION OF 3-PHASE TRANSFORMERS (Contd.)
• All three transformers in the 3-phase transformer bank will be of the
same construction either core or shell type.
• In dealing with 3-phase transformers, calculations are made for one
phase only.
• The value of equivalent impedance used is the equivalent impedance
per phase referred to secondary.
• In case the impedances of primary and secondary windings are given
separately, then primary impedance must be referred to secondary by
multiplying it with (transformation ratio)2.
• For Y/ or /Y transformers, it should be remembered that the
voltage ratios as given in the questions, refer to terminal voltages and
are quite different from turn ratio.

APPLICATIONS OFTHREE-PHASE TRANSFORMER
Power Transformers.
• These have only one winding and is used in cases where the ratio of
transformation differs little from 1.
• For the same output and voltage ratio, an autotransformer requires
less copper than an ordinary 2-winding transformer.
• These are used for starting induction motors
Autotransformers.
• These have variable load which is usually less than the full-load rating.
• Designed to have their maximum efficiency at between 1/2 - 3/4 of full
load
Distribution Transformers..
• Designed to operate with an almost constant load equal to their rating
• The maximum efficiency is designed to be at full-load.

INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMER
Current Transformer
• A device used to measure high alternating
current.
• The conductor carrying large current passes
through a circular laminated iron core.
• The conductor constitutes a one-turn
primary winding.
• The secondary winding consists of a large
number of turns of fine wire.
• Due to transformer action, the secondary
current is transformed to a low value which
can be measured by ordinary meters.
