CONSTRUCTION
A transformer consists of a rectangular shaft iron core made of laminated
sheets, well insulated from one another. Two coils p 1 & p2 and s1 & s2 are
wound on the same core, but are well insulated with each other. Note that
the both the coils are insulated from the core, the source of alternating e.m.f
is connected to p1p2, the primary coil and a load resistance R is connected to
s1 s2, the secondary coil through an open switch S. thus there can be no
current through the sec. coil so long as the switch is open.
For an ideal transformer, we assume that the resistance of the primary &
secondary winding is negligible. Further, the energy loses due to magnetic
the iron core is also negligible.
INTRODUCTION OF
TRANSFORMER
A transformer is an electrical device which is used for changing the A.C.
voltages. A transformer is most widely used device in both low and high
current circuit. As such transformers are built in an amazing strength of
sizes. In electronic, measurement and control circuits, transformer size may
be so small that it weight only a few tens of grams where as in high voltage
power circuits, it may weight hundred of tones.
In a transformer, the electrical energy transfer from one circuit to
another circuit takes place without the use of moving parts.

in the instantaneous values of the applied and back e.m.f. further if R p is the
resistance o, p1p2 coil, then the instantaneous current Ip in the primary coil
is given by
Ip = E Ep / Rp
E Ep = Ip Rp
therefore
E Ep = 0 or Ep = E
In a step up transformer
Ep I p = Es I s Or
Es / Ep = Ip / Is = K

ENERGY LOSSES:-
1. Copper loss is the energy loss in the form of heat in the copper coils of a
transformer. This is due to joule heating of conducting wires.
2. Iron loss is the energy loss in the form of heat in the iron core of the
transformer. This is due to formation of eddy currents in iron core. It is
minimized by taking laminated cores.
