Chapter 9 Ideal Transformer Lecture 04 Electro Mechanical System

Electro Mechanical System Ideal Transformer Introduction Transformers are one of the most useful electrical devices ever invented. It can raise or lower the voltage or current in an ac circuit. It can isolate circuits from each other. It can change the apparent value of impedance. The transformer enables us to transmit electrical energy over great distances.

Electro Mechanical System Voltage Induction For a coil consisting of N turns placed in a variable flux , the flux alternates sinusoidally at a frequency f, periodically reaching positive and negative max. The flux induces a sinusoidal ac voltage. Where: E = effective voltage induced [V] f = the frequency of flux [Hz] N = number of turns. max is the peak value of flux [Wb] (The reason for using peak flux is that it is proportional to peak flux density Bmax which in iron cores, determine the value of saturation.) The question arises: Why do we use peak value of Fmax ? The reason is peak flux is proportional to peak flux density Bmax which in iron cores, determine the value of saturation.

Applied Voltage & Induced Voltage Consider a coil connected across an AC voltage source Eg. The coil and source resistances are negligible. The induced voltage E must equal the source voltage Eg. A sinusoidal AC flux  must exist to generate the induced voltage on the N turns of the coil. max varies in proportion to Eg. Placing an iron core in the coil will not change the flux . Lecture 04 Electro Mechanical System

Applied Voltage & Induced Voltage Magnetization current Im drives the AC flux The current is 90° out-of-phase and lagging with respect to the voltage. To produce the same flux a smaller magnetomotive force is needed with an iron core than an air core. Less magnetizing current is required. So with an iron core, less current is needed to drive the AC flux. Lecture 04 Electro Mechanical System

Applied Voltage & Induced Voltage Example A coil, having 4000 turns, links an AC flux with a peak value of 2mWb at a frequency of 60 Hz Calculate the rms value of the induced voltage What is the frequency of the induced voltage?   E = 4.44 f N max E = 4.44 x 60 x 4000 x 0.002 E = 2131 V The induced voltage has rms value of 2131 V and a frequency of 60 Hz. The peak voltage is: 2131 x √2 = 3014 V Lecture 04 Electro Mechanical System

Applied Voltage & Induced Voltage Example: A coil, having 90 turns, is connected to a 120 V, 60 Hz source the rms magnetization current is 4 A.
