Where:
Note 1: k = 1/a
Note 2: A transformer is ideal if its core loss less, has no leakage flux and has no copper losses.

Where:
R1=resistance of primary winding (ohm)
X1=reactance of primary winding (ohm)
R2=resistance of secondary winding
X2=reactance of secondary winding (ohm)
Xm=magnetizing reactance of primary winding (ohm)

Rm=resistance representing the iron losses (ohm)
Pm=iron losses (watt)
Sm=apparent power absorbed by the core (volt-ampere)
Qm=reactive power needed to set-up the mutual flux (var)
E1=induced emf of the primary winding (volt)
E2=supply voltage (volt)
Note: At no load I2=0 and so is I1, Thus only the exciting current IO flows in R1 and X1 and
these impedances are so small that the voltage drop across them are negligible.
Note: At full load Ig is at least 20 times bigger than Io, consequently Io can be neglected and the
corresponding magnetizing branch. This equivalent circuit can be used even if the loading is
only 10% of the rated capacity of the transformer.

VOLTAGE REGULATION
❖ Voltage regulation – percentage rise in the terminal voltage of the transformer when the
transformer load is removed.
