TURN RATIO TEST OF SINGLE PHASE TRANSFORMER

OBJECTIVES

To determine the turns ratio of a single phase transformer.

TURNS RATIO TEST:

From Figure the turn’s ratio of a single phase transformer is defined as the ratio of the primary winding
voltage V1 to the secondary winding voltage V2 when no load is applied as follow.

Fig: Schematic symbol of a transformer

In an ideal transformer, there is no leakage in the magnetic field (Φ) flowing through the iron core and
since Faradays law states that "If a flux passes through a turn of a coil of wire, a voltage will be induced
in the turns of wire that is directly proportional to the rate of change in the flux with respect to time".

Equipment / Requirement:

1) One transformer
2) two voltmeters
3) one autotransformer
PROCEDURE:
Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram.
- Switch on the A.C supply.
- Record voltage V1 across primary and V2 across various tappings of secondary.
- If V1>V2 then transformer is step down.
- If V2> V1 then transformer is step up.
- Switch off A.C supply.
OBSERVATION TABLE:

RESULT:
If V2>V1 then transformer is step up otherwise step down.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. All connections should be tight.
2. The circuit should be according to circuit diagram.
3. The power should be on when the circuit is checked completely.
QUIZ:
Q1 what is transformer?
A1 Transformer is a static device which is used to change the level of voltage or current without changing the frequency and
power.
Q2 what do you mean by turns ratio of transformer?
A2 Turns ratio of a transformer is the ratio of primary turns to the secondary turns.
Q3 what is transformation ratio of transformer?
A3 Transformation ratio is the ratio of secondary side turns to primary side turns.
Q4 what are the different types of transformer?
A4 The different types of transformer are: step up and step down
Q5 what is the use of autotransformer?
A5 Autotransformer is used for increasing or decreasing the voltage with the use of one winding.
