DEFINITION
• Device used to transfer energy from
primary winding to secondary winding
by electromagnetic induction.
• Based on Faraday’s Law of induction

Where:-

ε – EMF (V)
ΦB – Magnetic flux (Wb)
TRANSFORMER USES
• Impedance matching
• Electrical Isolation
• AC power transmission
 STEP-UP

Transformer

 STEP-DOWN

Transformer
HISTORY
• 1831 – Michael Faraday invented the
Induction Ring.
• 1881 – Lucien Gaulard and John Gibbs
exhibited a device called secondary
generator.
• 1885 – William Stanley developed the fist
commercially used practical device while
working for Westinghouse Electric
Company in US.
INDUCTION THEORY
• Transformers behaviour is based
on Faraday’s Law of Induction

Where:-

ε – EMF (V)
N – No of turns of wire

ΦB – Magnetic flux (Wb)

Note;

a < 1 = Step up transformer
a > 1 = Step down transformer

Voltage and current angles are NOT affected
hence, θP = θS = θ
LOSSES

TYPES
Three Phase Transformers
Three phase transformers
can be constructed in two
different ways i.e. :1. A three phase bank consists
of three single phase
transformers.
2. Three windings wrapped
around a common core.

TYPES
•

Two types of special purpose transformers
used in power systems for taking
measurements.
– Potential Transformer

EFFICIENCY
• Efficiency (η) is the ratio of the power out to
the power in of a transformer.
– η in an Ideal transformer, no power losses
• PIN = VPIP cos θP
• POUT = VSIS cos θS
• PIN = POUT = VPIP cos θP = VSIS cos θS
• SOUT = SIN = VPIP = VSIS
• ηIdeal = 100%
Efficiency for a single phase
real transformer
• As mentioned previously, losses occur in a real
transformer and these losses must be taken into
count.
• Hence, ηReal = POUT x 100%
PIN
=
POUT
x 100%
POUT + PLOSS

VSIS cos θS_________
VSIS cos θS + i2R + (VP/a)2
RC
VOLTAGE REGULATION
• Voltage regulation (VR) is the ability of a system
to provide near constant voltage over a wide
range of load conditions. Also it compares the V O
at no load to VO at full load.

• An Ideal transformer has a voltage regulation,
VR = 0%
