WHAT IS TRANSFORMER???
A transformer is a static device which transfers electrical energy from one circuit
to another through the process of electromagnetic induction. It is most
commonly used to increase (‘step up’) or decrease (‘step down’) voltage levels
between circuits.
CALCULATION FOR PRIMARY &
SECONDARY COIL TURNS AND AWG
• Ip=30/(220*0.96)=0.142A
• Is=30/(40*0.96)=0.78A
• AWG: Primary=35 & Secondary=28
• Bobbin size=4*3.3=13.20cm^2
• Te=42/13.20=3.18turns/volt
• Primary coil turns=3.18*220=700turns
• Secondary coil turns=3.18*40=128turns
CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE
Vp=220V
Vs=40.2V
Sp=9Watt
Ss=1Watt
Ip=0.08A
Is=0.01A
Load Test
Vp=220V
Vs=38.6V
Sp=38Watt
Ss=30Watt
Ip=0.19A
Is=0.74A
Calculation:
Is=30/40=0.75A
RL=40/0.75=53ohm
Voltage Regulation(%VR):
%VR=((40-38.6)/38.6)*100=3.63%
Efficiency:
%η=(30/38)*100=79%
