In all cases except autotransformers, there is no direct electrical connection from one circuit to the other. When an alternating current flows in a conductor, a magnetic field exists around the conductor as illustrated in Fig. 3.1. If another conductor is placed in the field created by the first conductor as shown in Fig. 3.2, such that the flux lines link the second conductor, then a voltage is induced into the second conductor. The use of a magnetic field from one coil to induce a voltage into a second coil is the principle on which transformer theory and application is based. Current carrying conductor Flux lines FIGURE 3.1 FIGURE 3.2 © 2001 CRC Press LLC Flux in core Steel core Exciting winding Second winding FIGURE 3.3 Air Core Transformer Some small transformers for low power applications are constructed with air between the two coils. Such transformers are inefficient because the percentage of the flux from the first coil that links the second coil is small. The voltage induced in the second coil is determined as follows. E = N d0/dt]10]8 where N = number of turns in the coil d0/dt = time rate of change of flux linking the coil Since the amount of flux 0 linking the second coil is a small percentage of the flux from coil 1, the voltage induced into the second coil is small. The number of turns can be increased to increase the voltage output, but this will increase costs. The need then is to increase the amount of flux from the first coil that links the second coil. Iron or Steel Core Transformer The ability of iron or steel to carry magnetic flux is much greater than air. This ability to carry flux is called permeability. Modern electrical steels have permeabilities on the order of 1500 compared to 1.0 for air. This means that the ability of a steel core to carry magnetic flux is 1500 times that of air. Steel cores were used in power transformers when alternating current circuits for distribution of electrical energy were first introduced. When two coils are applied on a steel core as illustrated in Fig. 3.3, almost 100% of the flux from coil 1 circulates in the iron core so that the voltage induced into coil 2 is equal to the coil 1 voltage if the number of turns in the two coils are equal. The equation for the flux in the steel core is as follows: 0= © 2001 CRC Press LLC 3.19 N A u I d (3.1) where 0 = core flux in lines N = number of turns in the coil u = permeability I = maximum current in amperes d = mean length of the core Since the permeability of the steel is very high compared to air, all of the flux can be considered as flowing in the steel and is essentially of equal magnitude in all parts of the core. The equation for the flux in the core can be written as follows: 0= 349 E A fN (3.2) where A = area of the core in square inches E = applied alternating voltage f = frequency in cycles/second N = number of turns in the winding It is useful in transformer design to use flux density so that Eq. (3.2) can be written as follows: B= 0 349 E = A f AN (3.3) where B = flux density in Tesla. Equivalent Circuit of an Iron Core Transformer When voltage is applied to the exciting or primary winding of the transformer, a magnetizing current flows in the primary winding. This current produces the flux in the core. The flow of flux in magnetic circuits is analogous to the flow of current in electrical circuits. When flux flows in the steel core, losses occur in the steel. There are two components of this loss which are termed “eddy” and “hystersis” losses. An explanation of these losses would require a full chapter. For the purpose of this text, it can be stated that the hystersis loss is caused by the cyclic reversal of flux in the magnetic circuit . The eddy loss is caused by the flow of flux normal to the width of the core. Eddy loss can be expressed as follows: [ ] [ B] W=K w 2 2 (3.4) where K = constant w = width of the material normal to the flux B = flux density If a solid core were used in a power transformer, the losses would be very high and the temperature would be excessive. For this reason, cores are laminated from very thin sheets such as 0.23 mm and 0.28 mm to reduce the losses. Each sheet is coated with a very thin material to prevent shorts between the laminations. Improvements made in electrical steels over the past 50 years have been the major contributor to smaller and more efficient transformers. Some of the more dramatic improvements are as follows: © 2001 CRC Press LLC • • • • • • Development of grain-oriented electrical steels in the mid-1940s. Introduction of thin coatings with good mechanical properties. Improved chemistry of the steels. Introduction of laser scribed steels. Further improvement in the orientation of the grains. Continued reduction in the thickness of the laminations to reduce the eddy loss component of the core loss. The combination of these improvements has resulted in electrical steels having less than 50% of the no load loss and 30% of the exciting current that was possible in the late 1940s. The current to cause rated flux to exist in the core is called the magnetizing current. The magnetizing circuit of the transformer can be represented by one branch in the equivalent circuit shown in Fig. 3.4. The core losses are represented by [Xr], and the excitation characteristics by [Xm]. When the magnetizing current, which is about 0.5% of the load current, flows in the primary winding, there is a small voltage drop across the resistance of the winding and a small inductive drop across the inductance of the winding. We can represent these voltage drops as Rl and Xl in the equivalent circuit. However, these drops are very small and can be neglected in the practical case. Since the flux flowing in all parts of the core is essentially equal, the voltage induced in any turn placed around the core will be the same. This results in the unique characteristics of transformers with steel cores. Multiple secondary windings can be placed on the core to obtain different output voltages. Each turn in each winding will have the same voltage induced in it. Refer to Fig. 3.5. The ratio of the voltages at the output to the input at no load will be equal to the ratio of the turns. The voltage drops in the resistance and reactance at no load are very small with only magnetizing current flowing in the windings so that the voltage appearing at A can be considered to be the input voltage. The relationship E1/N1 = E2/N2 is important in transformer design and application. A steel core has a nonlinear magnetizing characteristic as shown in Fig. 3.6. As shown, greater ampere turns are required as the flux density B is increased. Above the knee of the curve as the flux approaches saturation, a small increase in the flux density requires a large increase in the ampere turns. When the core saturates, the circuit behaves much the same as an air core.

For example, the resistance component of the core loss, usually called no load loss, © 2001 CRC Press LLC
