IDEAL

TRANSFORMER
Example 1

■ An ideal transformer with a primary of 200 turns and the secondary of

20 turns has its primary connected to a 120 V, 60-Hz supply and its
secondary connected to a 100∠30° Ω load. Determine
(a) The secondary voltage
(b) The load current
(c) The input current to the primary
(d) The input impedance looking into the primary terminals
Note: For purposes of simplification in problem solving, unless otherwise
specified it will be assumed that the phase angle of the terminal voltage
is zero degrees
Example 2
■ The number of turns in the primary and the secondary of an
ideal transformer are 200 and 500, respectively. The
transformer is rated at 10 kVA, 250 V, and 60 Hz on the
primary side. The cross-sectional area of the core is 40
cm2. If the transformer is operating at full load with a power
factor of 0.8 lagging, determine
■ (a) the effective flux density in the core,
■ (b) the voltage rating of the secondary,
■ (c) the primary and secondary winding currents, and
■ (d) the load impedance on the secondary side and as
viewed from the primary side.
