TRANSFORMERS
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
One winding is connected to source of ac power, the 2 nd (& 3rd )
supplies power to loads
Winding connected to source named Primary
Winding connected to load named Secondary
If there is another one is called Tertiary
Importance of Transformers:
Main: to transfer electrical energy over long distances (from power
plants to load centers)
In modern power system electric energy is generated at voltages
between 12 to 25 kV, Transformers step up voltage between 110 kV
to 1200 kV for transmission over long distances with very small
losses
in Iran 230 and 420 kV for transmission and 63 kV and 132 kV for
sub-transmission (and frequency of 50 Hz)
Then Transformers step down to 33 kV or 24 kV for local distribution
& finally supply safely homes, offices & factories at voltages as low as
230 V, as 1 phase and 400 V as 3 phase

IDEAL TRANSFORMER
(SINGLE PHASE)
a lossless transformer with an input winding
and an output winding in which magnetic core
has an infinite permeability
Figure below shows: ideal transformer and
schematic symbols of a transformer

IDEAL TRANSFORMER
In terms of Phasor quantities:
Vp/Vs=a , Ip / Is=1/a
while:
1- phase angles of Vp and Vs are the same
2- phase angles of Ip and Is are the same
ideal transformer turn ratio affects the magnitude of
voltages & currents not their angles
Now: given primary circuit voltage is positive at
specific end of coil, what would be the polarity of
secondary circuits voltage?
IDEAL TRANSFORMER
If the primary voltage is +ve at the dotted end of the winding wrt the
undotted end, then the secondary voltage will be positive at the dotted
end also. Voltage polarities are the same wrt the dots on each side of
the core.
If the primary current of the transformer flows into the dotted end of the
primary winding, the secondary current will flow out of the dotted end of
the secondary winding
IDEAL TRANSFORMER
Power in Ideal Transformer
-Power supplied to Transformer:Pin= Vp Ip cosp
-Power supplied to loads : Pout=Vs Is coss
Since V & I angles unaffected by ideal transformer p = s=
Using the turn ratio; Vp/Vs=a , Ip / Is=1/a
Pout = Vp / a (a Ip) cos = Pin
similiar relation for reactive power Q & S
Qin= Vp Ip sinp= Vs Is sins = Qout
Sin= Vp Ip = Vs Is = Sout
IDEAL TRANSFORMER
Impedance Transformation
Load impedance ZL = Vs/Is and apparent impedance of
primary circuit: ZL=Vp/Ip
Vp = aVs
Is = a I p
ZL=Vp/Ip= aVs / Is /a= a ZL
With a transformer,
it is possible to match
magnitude of a load
impedance with source
impedance by picking proper turn ratio

Analysis of CCT.s containing Ideal Transformer
In equivalent cct.
a) Voltages & impedances replaced by scaled values,
b) polarities reversed if the dots on one side of
transformer windings are reversed compared to dots
on the other side of transformer windings
Example: A single phase power system consists of a
480 V, 50 Hz generator supplying a load Z load=4+j3
through a transmission line of impedance:
Zline=0.18+j0.24
a) what is the voltage at load? What is the
transmission losses?
IDEAL TRANSFORMER
b) a 1:10 step-up transformer placed at the
generator end of transmission line & a step
down transformer placed at load end of line.
What is load voltage ? What is transmission
losses?
IDEAL TRANSFORMER

Iline = V / (Zline + Zload)=480 0 / [(0.18b+ j 0.24)+(4+j3)]

Load voltage : Vload= Iline Zload=(90.8 37.8 )(4+j3)=
454 0.9 V
And the losses are :
Pline=(Iline) Rline=(90.8)(0.18)=1484 W
IDEAL TRANSFORMER
b) need to convert the system to a common voltage
Need two steps to be followed:
1- eliminate T2 referring to load to Transmission lines voltage
2-eliminate T1 by referring transmission lines elements & equivalent load to
source side
step 1: Zload=a Zload = (10/1) (4+j3)=400+j300

Zeq=Zline+Zload=400.18+j300.24=500.3
IDEAL TRANSFORMER
Step 2: total impedance reflected cross T1 to source
side
Zeq=a Zeq =a (Zline+Zload)
=(1/10)(0.18+j0.24+400+j300)=
= 0.0018+j0.0024+4+j3=5.003 36.88

IDEAL TRANSFORMER
The line losses are given:
Ploss= Iline Rline = 9.594 0.18 = 16.7 W
Note: rising transmission voltage of power
system reduced transmission losses
by a factor of 90
Also voltage at load dropped much
less
