Design of Voltage Regulator

A transformer is a device with two or more stationary electrical ckt

that are conductively disjointed but magnetically coupled by a common time-

varying magnetic Field. Transformer are basically passive device for transforming

voltage and current one of the windings, generally termed as secondary winding,

transformer energy through the principal of mutual induction and drivers power to

the wad. The voltage level at primary and secondary windings are usually different

and any increase or decrease of the secondary winding voltage is accompanied by

corresponding decrease or increase in current.

Transformer are among the most efficient machines 951. efficiency

being common in lower capacity ranges. While efficiency of the ordered of 99 % is

achievable in high capacity range. Theoretically there is no upper limit to the

power handing capacity, transports constraints, handling facilities etc. Being the

limiting factors, the lower limit is governed by the allowable no-load loss.

The physical basis of transformer is mutual induction between two

ckt. Linked by a common magnetic field. The primary ckt carrying a current has

associated with it as a manifestation of the electrical phenomenon, of current flow,

a magnetic field at any pt in the surrounding medium will vary in Both magnitude

and direction in accordance with change of current with time. The secondary ckt

being in the vicinity of primary ckt will link some of the magnetic flux produced by

primary.

With an alternating primary current and therefore flux, the changing

linkages will produced in the secondary winding an e.m.f.

Design of Voltage Regulator

Transformer works on mutual inductance. It has got two winding,

namely primary and secondary winding wound on laminated core of silicon steel, it

is used for step-up or step down the voltage level in a ckt.

i.e. A transformer is a static device piece of apparatus used for

transformer power from one ckt to another without changes in frequency.

When sinusoidal voltage i.e. A.C. voltage applied to primary winding

(NL turns) a Flux is produced in the iron core. This Flux link with secondary

winding, so an e.m.f. is induced in secondary winding. According to Faraday’s law

of electromagnetic induction. If load is connected to this secondary winding a

current start flowing in secondary winding in such way that it opposes the flux

produced by primary winding.

E. M. F. EQUATION :-

φ = θ m sin ωt = ¼ θ m sin ωt f

Flux

Due to sinusoidal current flowing through in a primary winding a flux

almost sinusoidal is produced in the iron whole of waveform as shown above.

If supply frequency is ‘F’ then the frequency of supply will also ‘F’

∴ since time to complete F cycle = 1 sec.

Govt. Poly., Washim.  2


Design of Voltage Regulator

So time to complete 1 cycle = 1/F sec.

So time to complete Quarter Evolutions = 0.25 x 1/F

= 1/4F second=d

(This is the time in which Flux Rises from 0 to θm.)

∴ So average voltage induced in each turn coil = change in Flux


time interval for change in Flux
= φm – 0 = φm = 4.F. φm
1/4F -0 1/4F
We know that,

Form factor = R.M.S. = 1.11 for W Av.


Average value
So R.M.S. value of voltage induced in each turn coil = 1.11 x 4 x F x ϕm

If primary turns = N 1

∴ R.M.S. voltage induced in primary i.e.

∈1 = 1.11 x 4 x F x φ M x N1

∈1 = 4.44 x F x φ M . N 1

If secondary turns = N2

∴R.M.S. voltage induced in secondary i.e.

∈2 = 1.11 x 4 x F x φ M x N1

∈2 = 4.44.F. φ M . N2

VARIOUS LOSSES IN TRANSFORMER

Transformer losses are divided in to two categories.

(I) CONSTANT LOSSES :-

In which mainly Iron Loss take place. These losses are independent

of load current, these are of two tapes.

(1) Hysterisis Loss

(2) Eddy current loss.

(1) Hysterisis Loss :- When alternating current flows through, primary winding,

cyclic magnetization and demagntisation of Xmer Core take place. So Heat is

produced. Hysterisis loss is proportional to valve of Flux-density and frequency.

Ph ∝ F. B Max
1.6

To minimize hysterisis was CRCTO – cold Rolled grain oriented steel

or silicon steel is used. The permability of (RGO is very high more than 10.000.

II) EDDY CURRENT LOSSES :-

In Xmer primary and secondary windings alternating current Flows as

per Faradays Law of electromagnetic induction and lene`s law opposite current are

Design of Voltage Regulator

set-up in the Iron core due to which I 2R losses takes place in the Iron core. Since

this loss is due to Eddy current. It is called as Eddy current loss.

Winding current

Core

Eddy current in Core

It is clear that to Reduce eddy current loss. Eddy current should be

loss. So electrical resistance of iron core in the path of eddy current should be

more. To increase the electrical resistance of iron core the core is made-up of, thin

laminated strips insulated to each other and assembled by nut-bolts.

The thickness of laminated is around 0.3 mm (1/3), also silicon

increases the electrical resistance of Xmer core so silicon steel is used. But more is

the silicon steel becomes brittle so silicon up to 4 % is added.

Eddy current loss is also dependant upon. Pe ∝ F2. Bm2

(III) VARIABLE LOSSES :-

This losses depends upon primary and secondary winding resistance

and currents flowing through them. RF primary currents Ip, primary Resistance R1

and secondary current R 2 and secondary winding Resistance R 2. Then total variable

loss = Ip2R 1 + Ib2R2

Govt. Poly., Washim.  9


Design of Voltage Regulator

This is called variable loss because it is dependant upon load current.

To minimize copper losses primary and secondary winding Resistance

should be as small as possible.

REGULATION

When X mer is loaded with a constant primary voltage, then the

secondary terminal voltage drops (assuming lagging power factor ); It will increase

if power factor is leading because of its internal resistance and leakage reactance.

Let,

V 2 = Secondary terminal voltage at no-load

V 2! = Secondary terminal voltage at load

∴%R = V2 - V 2! x 100
V2
Then % Regulation of a loaded Xmer at any power factor is given as

= ( R Cosθ + X sinθ ) + ( XCos θ - R sinθ )

⇒ (V2 .I2 cos θ2 + Pi + I22 re2 )V2cos θ2 - V2 I2cos θ2 (V2 . cos θ2 + 2I2. re2) = 0

⇒ (V2 .I2 cos θ2 + Pi + I22 re2 ) V2cos θ2 = V 2 I2 cos θ2 (V2 . cos θ2 + 2I2. re2)

⇒ V2 .I2 cos θ2 + Pi + I22 re2 = V2 I2 cos θ2 + 2I22. re2

TYPES OF XMER

There are mainly two type XMer are used.

(1) CORE TYPE

(2) SHELL TYPE

The difference between these two XMer are as

CORE TYPE SHELL TYPE

(1) Winding surrounds the core (1) Core surrounds the winding

(2) Winding have poor mechanical (2) Higher Mechanical strength

(3) More leakage reactance (3) Less leakage reactance

Core Selection :-

All this discussion about alloy, lamination, toroids, cut cores, metal

powder, ceramic & many chart is fine, interesting even later the moment of trust

must arrive – a choice must be made from wetter of possibilities.

It you want to design power XMer . This statement immediately narrow

the search because power X Mer is a high flux application that is generally accepted

that the core material for power X Mer should be run at high flux density at possible

in order to keep XMer small & less costly.

Volt ampear ratings :-

It the load is resistive in nature then they have power factor 1.0. It

P.F. less than 1.0 then such load require XMer of larger volt. Ampear capacity than

that indicated by load expressed in watt motors for example have power factor less

we chose the high value of r , then flux will become larger and consequently large

core cross section is needed which result in higher volume, weight and cost of iron

Now, E = 4.44 f. φm T.

∴ T = T/E = ¼ . 44 f . φm

flux in cox φm = ¼ . 44. f. Te.

The frequency of Xmer is specified and the value of turms per volt Te

is taken from above table. ∴ φm is known.

Net area of core Ai = φm/Bm

Bm = max. flux density = 1 wb/m2 (Assum)

Gross area of core Agi = Ai / 0.9

∴ (stacting factor = 0.9).

A shell type of construction is normally used for small transformer.

The core is made up of any of the following combination of stampings.
