(iii) The emf equation of a transformer is:
E2 = 4.44 fN2 m V
or
E2 = 4.44 fN2 m A V
( m = Bm A)
where
Bm = maximum flux density in Wb/m2 or tesla
A = cross-sectional area of the core in m2
So,
400 = 4.44 50 111 1.2 A
or cross-sectional area, A = 0.0135m2
Example 3
The required no-load ratio in a 1, 50 Hz core type
transformer is 6000/250 V. Find the number of turns in each
winding if peak value of flux in core is to be about 0.06 Wb.
Solution
No-load voltage ratio =

and E2 = 250 V

Peak value of the flux, m = 0.06 Wb


The emf equation of the transformer is given by
E1 = 4.44 f N1m V
or 6000 = 4.44 50 N1 0.06
Hence
N1 = 450.45 turns
Since the number of turns in each winding should be a whole
number,
N1 = 451 turns

Example 5
A single-phase transformer has primary voltage of
230 V. No-load primary current is 5 A. No-load pf is 0.25. Number
of primary turns is 200 and frequency is 50 Hz. Calculate (i)
maximum value of flux in one core. (ii) core loss, and (iii)
magnetizing current.
Solution
Given:
E1 V1 = 230 V
I0 = 5 A
cos 0 = 0.25
N1 = 200 turns
f = 50 Hz
(i) The emf equation of a transformer is given by
E1 = 4.44 f N1 m V
So 230 = 4.44 50 200 m
which gives
m = 5.18 mWb
(ii)

At no load, copper loss is negligible.


So, input power = iron loss bWi g
Thus, core loss, Wi = V1 I0 cos 0
= 230 5 0.25 = 287.5 W

(iii) Magnetizing current,


I = I0 sin 0
= 5 0.97
= 4.85 A
