The voltage V=100 sin314t 20 sin1885t, is applied to 100 turn transformer winding.
Drive the equation for the flux in the core, neglecting leakage flux and winding
resistance.
Total winding voltage is:
V(t) = n * Vturn = n
= ( 100 cos314 ) ( 20 cos1885 ) = 51.62
V(t) = 100 * 51.62 = 5162 V
What is the condition for the maximum efficiency of a transformer and at which load
does it occurs?
The maximum operating efficiency occurs at the load where the core losses equal the load
losses.
