EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT OF TRANSFORMERLecture No. 5
By: Sajid Hussain Qazi
Equivalent Circuit of Ideal Transformer
Equivalent Circuit of Practical Transformer
For the non ideal or practical iron-core transformer, the equivalent circuit appears as in figure below:
Equivalent Circuit of Practical Transformer
As indicated, part of this equivalent circuit
includes an ideal transformer.
The remaining elements of Figure are those
elements that contribute to the non ideal
characteristics of the device.
The resistances Rp and Rs are simply the dc
resistance of the primary and secondary
windings, respectively.
Equivalent Circuit of Practical Transformer
For the primary and secondary coils of a transformer, there is a small amount of flux that links each coil but does not pass through the core, as shown in Figure below for the primary winding.
Equivalent Circuit of Practical Transformer
This leakage flux, representing a definite loss in the system, is represented by an inductance Lp in the primary circuit and an inductance Ls in the secondary.
The resistance Rc represents the hysteresis and eddy current losses (core losses) within the core due to an ac flux through the core.
The inductance Lm (magnetizing inductance) is the inductance associated with the magnetization of the core, that is, the establishing of the flux Φm in the core.
Equivalent Circuit of Practical Transformer
The capacitances Cp and Cs are the lumped capacitances of the primary and secondary circuits, respectively, and Cw represents the equivalent lumped capacitances between the windings of the transformer.
The capacitances Cp, Cw, and Cs do not appear in the equivalent circuit, since their reactance at typical operating frequencies will not appreciably affect the transfer characteristics of the transformer.
Equivalent Circuit of Practical Transformer
Since i′p is normally considerably larger than iΦm (the magnetizing current), we will ignore iΦm for the moment (set it equal to zero), resulting in the absence of Rc and Lm in the reduced equivalent circuit of Figure.
