Ideal Transformer
A ideal transformer is an imaginary transformer which has:
-> no copper losses
-> no iron loss in the core
-> no leakage flux
More on losses Here
In ideal transformer, input power = output power. Concept of
such transformer exists to make problems easier.
Characteristics of Ideal Transformer
Zero Winding Resistance : Resistance of both primary and
secondary winding is 0 i.e. both the coils are purely inductive in
nature.
100% Efficiency : There are no losses in ideal transformer so the
input power = output power => Eyl) = EyIn
No leakage flux : The whole amount of flux is linked from
primary to secondary winding, so there is no leakage flux.
No Iron loss ; As the iron core is subjected to alternating flux
there occurs eddy current and hysteresis loss in it. These two
losses together are called Iron loss. It is 0 in ideal transformer.When an alternating voltage V; is supplied to the primary
winding of an ideal transformer, counter emf £, is induced in the
primary winding. Since there is no resistance, this induced emf
E, will be exactly equal to the applied voltage but in 180 degree
opposite in phase.
The current drawn from the source produces required magnetic
flux. As the primary winding resistance is 0, the current lags emf
E, by 90 degree. This is current is called Magnetizing current |...
This magnetizing current produces alternating magnetic flux @.
This flux gets linked with the secondary winding and emf E> is
induced by mutual induction. This E> is in phase with E;. If the
circuit is closed at secondary winding, then secondary current lz
is produced.

EPractical Transformer
In practical transformer, we have all sorts of losses that were 0 in
ideal transformer like winding reistance, leakage flux, and iron
losses, all are there.
Here we are gonna study two cases:
(a) No load
(b) On load
Practical Transformer on No Load
In no load transformer, the circuit on the secondary side is open.
V; is the primary voltage and I; is the primary current. Now I; has
two components:
a) One component is responsible for generation of magnetic flux.
This is called Magnetizing component of I; and is denoted by I,
b) Second component which is responsible for magnetic losses
(Hysterisis and Eddy current losses) and primary winding losses.
This is called Core loss component of |, .
So its equivalent circuit diagram is:z
re Ae

nnn
where on primary side,
V, is Primary Voltage
R, is Primary Winding Resistance
X, is Primary Leakage Reactance
Ip is No Load Primary Current
I, is Core Loss component of |;
I, is Magnetizing Component of |;
Re is Core loss resistance
Xm is Magnetizing Reactance
Nj is Number of turns in Primary Winding
E, is Primary induced EmfOn secondary side:
R2 is Secondary winding resistance
Xz is Secondary leakage reactance
Nz is Secondary winding turns
Ey is Secondary induced emf
V2 is Secondary terminal voltage
Phasor Diagram
loaFirst we will start with reference line which is common to both
primary and secondary curcuit, here it is flux @. Now using KVL in
primary circuit
Vi= —E, + IoRi + jloX1
There is no direct relation between @ and V, so that we could
directly draw phasor. But we have relation with E, and 9, as q is
responsible for both E; and E. E; and E> both lag @ by 90
degrees. Here we will consider E; < Ez.
@ is produced due to magnetizing current |,, therefore I, is in
phase with @. As we have -E, in our equation (because it is in
opposite direction of magnetizing current) so we will draw a
phasor opposite to Ey.
I, is 90 degrees leading from |, so it is in phase with -E; As Ip = Ic.
+, hence the phasor Io.
Now IgR, is voltage drop in R, and it is in phase with I, and as it
is added to -E; so the phasor of IoR; will be drawn at the head of
-E;. IpX1 is voltage drop across X, and is 90 degrees leading IoR1,
so it is drawn perpendicular to IpR;-
Now following the equation, V; phasor is drawn adding all the
quantities given in the equation.Practical Transformer on Load
The secondary side is closed-circuited with a load.where on primary side,
V, is Primary Voltage
|, is Primary Current
I’) is Primary Current to neutralize the demagnitizing
effects of Ip, I'p =K Iz
Ip is No Load Primary Current
R, is Primary Winding Resistance
X, is Primary Leakage Reactance
I, is Core Loss component of I;
I, is Magnetizing Component of 1
I'; component of |; (doubtful)
R, is Core loss resistance
Xm is Magnetizing Reactance
N, is Number of turns in Primary Winding
E, is Primary induced Emf
On secondary side,
Rz is Secondary winding resistance
Xz is Secondary leakage reactance
Nz is Secondary winding turns
E, is Secondary induced emf
V2 is Secondary voltage
lz is Secondary currentPhasor Diagram
Again we will start with refrence line, here it is ~p.
Using KVL in secondary circuit,
V2 = Ey — InR2— jl,X2
As there is no direct relation between V, and ¢ so we will use
the equation to draw all three quantities and then add them to
get V;.
Ey and E; lag @ by 90 degrees. Here we will consider E3 < Ey. Iz
lags Ez by phase difference of pz
Now voltage drop I,Rz across Rz will be in phase with I, but we
need -IpR2 so we will it in opposite direction of Ip. As it is to be
added to E2 so it will be drawn at the head of E.
loX2 is voltage drop across X2 and is leading by 90 degrees from
InR2. Again it is -ve in magnitude.
Adding all the quantities we have V2.Now in primary circuit,
Vy == Ey #1Ry + HX
1y = I'2 + Ip where I'2 = -Klz
Ip = Ip tle
Again we will draw |, first as it is directly connected to g, then I_
and then Ip .
I’ is opposite to Iz and is added to Io. The resultant phasor is |;.
|yR; is in phase with |, and is added to -E}. 1,X; is 90 degrees
leading 1,R}.
Phase difference between V, and I; is @,
Power Factor = cos@,
Input Power = V4l;cos@;
Phase difference between V2 and |p is pz
Power Factor = cosp2
Input Power = Val2cos2
