Teoriya Transformer a Li Seroperasyona da Li Nishtmanan Operasyon

We have discussed about the theory of ideal transformer for better understanding of actual elementary theory of transformer. Now we will go through the practical aspects one by one of an electrical power transformer and try to draw vector diagram of transformer in every step. As we said that, in an ideal transformer; there are no core losses in transformer i.e. loss free core of transformer. But in practical transformer, there are hysteresis and eddy current losses in transformer core.

Theory of Transformer on No-Load

Having No Winding Resistance and No Leakage Reactance

Let us consider one electrical transformer with only core losses, which means, it has only core losses but no copper loss and no leakage reactance of transformer. When an alternating source is applied in the primary, the source will supply the current for magnetizing the core of transformer.

But this current is not the actual magnetizing current; it is a little bit greater than actual magnetizing current. Total current supplied from the source has two components, one is the magnetizing current which is merely utilized for magnetizing the core, and another component of the source current is consumed for compensating the core losses in transformers.

Because of this core loss component, the source current in a transformer on no-load condition supplied from the source as source current is not exactly at 90° lags of the supply voltage, but it lags behind an angle θ is less than 90o. If the total current supplied from source is Io, it will have one component in phase with supply voltage V1 and this component of the current Iw is the core loss component.

This component is taken in phase with the source voltage because it is associated with active or working losses in transformers. Another component of the source current is denoted as Iμ.

This component produces the alternating magnetic flux in the core, so it is watt-less; means it is a reactive part of the transformer source current. Hence Iμ will be in quadrature with V1 and in phase with alternating flux Φ. Hence, the total primary current in a transformer on the no-load condition can be represented as:

Now you have seen how simple it is to explain the theory of transformer in no-load.

Theory of Transformer on Load

Having No Winding Resistance and Leakage Reactance

Now we will examine the behavior of the above-said transformer on load, which means the load is connected to the secondary terminals. Consider, a transformer having core loss but no copper loss and leakage reactance. Whenever a load is connected to the secondary winding, the load current will start to flow through the load as well as the secondary winding.

This load current solely depends upon the characteristics of the load and also upon the secondary voltage of the transformer. This current is called secondary current or load current, here it is denoted as I2. As I2 is flowing through the secondary, a self MMF in secondary winding will be produced. Here it is N2I2, where, N2 is the number of turns of the secondary winding of the transformer.

This MMF or magnetomotive force in the secondary winding produces flux φ2. This φ2 will oppose the main magnetizing flux and momentarily weakens the main flux and tries to reduce primary self-induced emf E1. If E1 falls below the primary source voltage V1, there will be an extra current flowing from source to primary winding.

This extra primary current I2′ produces extra flux φ′ in the core which will neutralize the secondary counter flux φ2. Hence the main magnetizing flux of core, Φ remains unchanged irrespective of load. So total current, this transformer draws from the source can be divided into two components.

The first one is utilized for magnetizing the core and compensating the core loss, i.e., Io. It is the no-load component of the primary current. The second one is utilized for compensating the counter flux of the secondary winding. It is known as the load component of the primary current. Hence total no-load primary current I1 of an electrical power transformer having no winding resistance and leakage reactance can be represented as follows

Where θ2 is the angle between the Secondary Voltage and Secondary Current of the transformer.
Now we will proceed one further step toward a more practical aspect of a transformer.

Theory of Transformer On Load, with Resistive Winding, but No Leakage Reactance

Now, consider the winding resistance of the transformer but no leakage reactance. So far we have discussed the transformer which has ideal windings, means winding with no resistance and leakage reactance, but now we will consider one transformer which has internal resistance in the winding but no leakage reactance. As the windings are resistive, there would be a voltage drop in the windings.

We have proved earlier that, total primary current from the source on load is I1. The voltage drop in the primary winding with resistance, R1 is R1I1. Obviously, induced emf across primary winding E
