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 = - Nd∅dt

Maximum valve of induced emf, Equation
 
E1(max) = N1 ω ∅m
 
E1(max) =2 π f N1∅m  ;  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
