INTRODUCTION
The performanceof a transformerat no load and at load is influencedby mutual flux, the leakage
fluxes, the winding resistances and the iron losses.For the purpose of performance evaluation, the
effect of theseis representedon an electricalcircuit, in the form of resistancesand reactances .
Suchan electrical circuitis called “equivalent circuit.” In this section,we will develop the equivalent
circuitof a single-phasetransformerin the following steps:
(a) Equivalent circuitof an ideal transformer at no load
(b) Equivalent circuitof an ideal transformer on load
(c) Equivalent circuit at load
(d) Equivalent circuit referred to primary side
(e) Approximate equivalent circuit .
Equivalent Circuit of an Ideal Transformerat No Load
• Under certain conditions, the transformer can be treated as an ideal transformer. Theassumptions
necessaryto treat it as an ideal transformerare :
(a) Primaryand secondarywindings have zero resistance.This meansthat ohmic loss(I2R loss),and
resistivevoltage drops inwindingsare zero.
(b) There is no leakage flux, i.e. the entire flux is mutual flux that links both
the primary and secondary windings.
(c) Permeability of the core isinfinite this means that the magnetizing current needed for establishing the
flux is zero.
(d) Core loss(hysteresisas well as eddy current losses)are zero.
We know that ,
E2/E1= N 2 /N 1 = k ; N 1 /N 2 = a
(k is a constant,knownas voltage transformationratio or turns ratio).
R0 = V1 /P0 ,
Iω =V/R0 , P0=Iω2R0
Also, X0=V1/Iµ or,
Iµ=V1/X0
