EMF Equation of Transformer Definition

The EMF equation of a transformer is derived using Faraday’s law, indicating the induced EMF based on flux changes and winding turns.

Magnetizing Current

An alternating current in the primary winding generates a magnetizing current that produces alternating flux in the transformer’s core.

Sinusoidal Flux and EMF

The sinusoidal primary current creates a sinusoidal flux, and its rate of change (cosine function) determines the induced EMF.

Voltage and Turns Ratio

The ratio of primary to secondary voltage (voltage ratio) is directly proportional to the ratio of the number of turns in the primary and secondary windings (turns ratio).

Transformation Ratio

The transformation ratio (K) indicates whether a transformer is step-up (K > 1) or step-down (K < 1), based on the primary and secondary windings.

What Is the Working Principle of a Power Plant Boiler?

The working principle of a power plant boiler is to utilize the thermal energy released from fuel combustion to heat feedwater, producing a sufficient quantity of superheated steam that meets specified parameters and quality requirements. The amount of steam produced is known as the boiler's evaporation capacity, typically measured in tons per hour (t/h). Steam parameters primarily refer to pressure and temperature, expressed in megapascals (MPa) and degrees Celsius (°C), respectively. Steam qua

What is the principle of live-line washing for substations?

Why Do Electrical Equipment Need a "Bath"?Due to atmospheric pollution, contaminants accumulate on insulating porcelain insulators and posts. During rain, this can lead to pollution flashover, which in severe cases may cause insulation breakdown, resulting in short circuits or grounding faults. Therefore, the insulating parts of substation equipment must be periodically washed with water to prevent flashover and avoid insulation degradation that could lead to equipment failure.Which Equipment Is

Essential Dry-Type Transformer Maintenance Steps

Routine Maintenance and Care of Dry-Type Power TransformersDue to their flame-resistant and self-extinguishing properties, high mechanical strength, and ability to withstand large short-circuit currents, dry-type transformers are easy to operate and maintain. However, under poor ventilation conditions, their heat dissipation performance is inferior to that of oil-immersed transformers. Therefore, the key focus in the operation and maintenance of dry-type transformers is controlling the temperatu
