Magnetically coupled circuits

Magnetically coupled electric circuits are central to the

operation of transformers and electric machines. In the
case of transformers, stationary circuits are magnetically
coupled for the purpose of changing the voltage and
current levels.

Transformer
In general, the flux produced by each coil can be
separated into two components:
a leakage component denoted with I
L
and
a magnetizing component I
m
Each of these components is depicted by a single
Streamline with the positive direction determined
by applying the right-hand rule to the direction of
current flow in the coil. Often, in transformer
analysis, i
2
is selected positive out of the top of
coil 2, and a dot is placed at that terminal.
Flux in Transformer
The leakage flux
l1
is produced by current flowing in coil
1, and it links only the turns of coil 1. Likewise, the
leakage flux
l2
is produced by current flowing in coil 2,
and it links only the turns of coil 2. The magnetizing flux

m1
is produced by current flowing in coil 1, and it links all
turns of coils 1 and 2. Similarly, the magnetizing flux
m2
is
produced by current flowing in coil 2, and it also links all
turns of coils 1 and 2.
Basic Principles
The transformer is a static device working on the
principle of Faradays law of induction. Faradays
law states that a voltage appears across the
terminals of an electric coil when the flux linkages
associated with the same changes. This emf is
proportional to the rate of change of flux linkages.
Putting mathematically:

Where, e is the induced emf in volt
and is the flux linkages in Weber

assumed that 1 links the equivalent turns of coil 1 and 2

be written as

Flux Linkage of a Coil


Fig. 1 shows a coil of N turns. All these N turns link flux
lines of Weber resulting in the N flux linkages.

Change in Flux
The change in the flux linkage can be
brought about in a variety of ways:
1. coil may be static and unmoving but the flux
linking the same may change with time
2. flux lines may be constant and not changing in
time but the coil may move in space linking
different value of flux with time.
3. both 1 and 2 above may take place. The flux
lines may change in time with coil moving in
space.
Magnetically coupled M/C
In the case of electric machines, circuits in relative motion
are magnetically coupled for the purpose of transferring
energy between mechanical and electrical systems.
Because magnetically coupled circuits play such an
important role in power transmission and conversion, it is
important to establish the equations that describe their
behavior and to express these equations in a form
convenient for analysis.

Experiment LHR

Generating
Fig. 2 shows a region of length L m, of uniform flux density
B Tesla, the flux lines being normal to the plane of the
paper. A loop of one turn links part of this flux. The flux
linked by the turn is L B X Weber. Here X is the length of
overlap in meters as shown in the figure.
If now B does not change with time
and the loop is unmoving then
no emf is induced in the coil as the
flux linkages do not change. Such a
condition does not yield any useful
machine. On the other hand if the
value of B varies with time a voltage
is induced in the coil linking the same
coil even if the coil does not move.
Change in Flux Linkage
The magnitude of B is assumed to be varying
sinusoidal, and can be expressed as:
