Q3) (b)

Derive the EMF equation of single-phase transformer.

  • When a AC voltage is applied to the primary winding of a transformer, alternating flux sets up in the iron core of the transformer. This alternating flux links with both primary and secondary winding.
  • The function of flux is a sine function. The rate of change of flux with respect to time is derived mathematically.
  • Let,
    m be the maximum value of flux in Wb
    f be the supply frequency in Hz
    N1 be the number of turns in the primary winding
    N2 be the number of turns in the secondary winding
    is the flux per turn (in Weber)
  • As shown in the figure that the flux changes from + to – in half a cycle of 12f second.
  • By Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction, Let E1 is the emf induced in the primary winding.

    E1 = - Nddt

Maximum valve of induced emf, Equation
 
E1(max) = N1 ω m
 
E1(max) =2 π f N1m  ;  Where, ω =2 π f 
 
RMS value is given by, E1 = E1(max)2
 
Putting the value of E1(max) in above equation. We get,
 
E1 = 2 π f N1 m
 
E1 = 4.44 f N1 m
 
Similarly, We get,
 
E2 = 4.44 f N2 m
