Emf Equation Of A Transformer

Figure 1.22 shows the representation of alternating flux, varying sinusoidally, which increases from its zero value to maximum value (Φm) in one-quarter of the cycle, that is in one-fourth of a second where fis the frequency of AC input in hertz.

The average rate of change of flux is given by , that is 4m Wb/s or V.

Figure 1.22 Representation of Alternating Flux

This rate of change of flux per turn is the induced emf in V.

Therefore, average emf/turn = 4mm V.

Let N1 and N2 be the number of turns in primary and secondary.

The rms value of induced emf in primary winding is given by

E1 = (4.44m m) × N1 = 4.44m mN = 4.44f BmArN1 (1.1)

where  is the maximum value of flux density having unit Tesla (T) and Ar is the area of cross-section.

Similarly, RMS value of induced emf in secondary winding is

E 2 = (4.44fΦm )x N2 = 4.44mN2 = 4.44f BmArN2 (1.2)

From Equations (1.1) and (1.2), we have

i.e., 

where ‘a’ is the turns ratio of the transformer,

i.e., 

Equation (1.3) shows that emf induced per turn in primary and secondary windings are equal.

In an ideal transformer at no load, V1 = E1 and V2 = E2, where V2 is the terminal voltage of the transformer. Equation (1.3) becomes

Example 1.1 The voltage ratio of a single-phase, 50 Hz transformer is 5,000/500 V at no load. Calculate the number of turns in each winding if the maximum value of the flux in the core is 7.82 mWb.

Solution

Here

E1 = V1 = 5,000 V

E2 = V2 = 500 V

φmax = 7.82 m Wb = 7.82 × 10−3 Wb, f = 50Hz

Let N1 and N2 be the number of turns of the primary and secondary windings, respectively.

Since

E1 = 4.44 f φmN1

i.e., 

Again, 

∴
