Transformer:

A transformer, whose operation depends on the electromagnetic


induction, is a static piece of apparatus of which electrical power in one
circuit is transferred to electric power of the same frequency in another
circuit. It can raise or lower the voltage in a circuit but with corresponding
decrease or increase in current.
Having taken note of the physical details of the transformer primary and
secondary, perform the following steps:

STEP 2: Secondary voltage- By connect the oscilloscope probes across


the secondary terminals of the transformer I got waveform from the
display and secondary voltage.

Figure 01: Secondary voltage waveform.

STEP 3: My given transformer VA rating is 9.


750mA. Output voltage 12V.

Current

is

VA rating= voltage times current.


12v times 0.750A=9VA

Figure 02: Transformer VA rating


STEP 4: By using multi-meter primary voltage is 238.5 V and secondary
voltage is 14.73 V.

Figure 03 and 04: Primary and secondary voltage.

STEP 5: By the way of wave from displays, phase relationship of the


primary and secondary voltage is 180o.

Figure 05: Phase relationship


STEP 6: Full secondary voltage is 29.48 V. Halve of the centre-tapped
secondary voltage is 14.73 V. So sum of two halves is equal full voltage.

Figure 6: Full secondary voltage.


In contrasts, in practical transformer secondary voltage will not be same.
There must be some different. Same like happened with our giver
transformer. It secondary voltage was 12V, but in measurement I found

14.73 V. Therefore, the transformer is very high quality, the changes are
quite low value but still there.
