What is an Ideal Transformer?
Ideal Transformer Definition
An ideal transformer is defined as a theoretical transformer with 100% efficiency and no losses.
Core and Copper Losses
In an ideal transformer, there are no core losses or copper losses, ensuring perfect efficiency.
Purely Inductive Windings
The windings are considered purely inductive, meaning they have no resistance, which is key to the ideal model.
Magnetizing Current
The primary winding draws a magnetizing current that creates an alternating flux in phase with the current.
Mutual Induction
The flux in the primary winding induces an EMF in the secondary winding through the core, showing the principle of mutual induction.
