TRANSFORMERS Definitin : Transfrmers can be defined as a static electric machine which cnverts electric energy frm ne ptential t anther at the same frequency. It can als be defined as cnsists f tw electric circuits linked by a cmmn variable flux.
Thery f peratin : The primary cil f the transfrmer is cnnected t a supply f sine wave vltage. an alternating sine wave current will flw in the primary. thus the primary m.m.f ( N.I ) will prduce a cmmn flux ( g ) which is als alternating and in phase with the current accrding t Faraday s law the cmmn flux interesting tw cils will induce in them an alternating e.m.f ( e, e ). e e N d φ e - dt ( ) is an e.m.f f self inductin is an e.m.f f Mutual inductin e - N dφ dt ( ) frm, the transfrmatin rati e e K N N

Cnnect the primary cil with a direct current supply. measure the applied vltage and the current. E I r hms The effect f X, X 0 will nt appear when using direct current X Ldi dt I is the cnst. relative t time ] als the effect f r will nt appear because it represent the eddy and hysteresis lsses which are nt existing in the case f direct current they appear nly when there is varialable flux in the cre. Similarly we can determine the resistance f the secndary ( r ) by cnnecting the battery t the terminals f the secndary cil.
Vltage regulatin : The vltage regulatin is defined as the change in the secndary vltage f a laded transfrmer when the lad is remved. while the primary vltage is cnstant at it s nminal value. E ( V ) n.l V lad In rder t enable the cmparisn between transfrmers f different wrking vltages, the vltage regulatin in usually expected as percent r a per unit value related t the secndary vltage at lad. usually the vltage regulatins is determined fr full lad cnditins. s t simplify equivalent circuit
