Advantages of CVT
9There are no Electronic Circuits Associated with
CVT (Reliability , Durability)
9The Variation of Output Voltage is less than 1%
9The Short Circuit Current = 1.2 * Rated Current
9Surge Suppression Capability

Project Objectives
9 Intro
9Bulkier in Size
9Comparatively Low Efficiency

Operating Principle
Theory of Ferro-Resonance

Mathematical Modelling
Use Kirchoffs Laws to derive the expressions

Remove the Saturating Reactor from equivalent

circuit

Constant Voltage Output

E
= 4.44BNf A
(av)output

Contd.

Critical Design Parameters

Use kirchoffs Laws
9 Inductor Value (L )
9 Capacitor Value (C )
9 Short Circuit current (Is)
9 Physical Size of Transformer (CV2+Li2)

Size Optimisation

V0/V1 = 1.6 @ 0.97 power factor gives the best possible

Value for Short Circuit Current and Physical Size.
