The rate of change of flux linkage depends upon the amount of linked flux
with the second winding. So ideally almost all of the flux of primary
winding should link to the secondary winding. This is effectively and
efficiently done by using a core type transformer. This provides a low
reluctance path common to both of the windings.
The purpose of the transformer core is to provide a low reluctance path,
through which the maximum amount of flux produced by the primary
winding is passed through and linked with the secondary winding .The
current that initially passes through the transformer when it is switched on
is known as the transformer inrush current.
Transformer Parts and Construction
The three main parts of a transformer:
2. Step-Up Transformer
Step Up transformer is exactly opposite of the step-down transformer. Step
up transformer increase the low primary voltage to a high secondary
voltage. Again it is achieved by the ratio of primary and secondary winding
ratio. For the StepUp transformer, the ratio of the primary winding and the
Secondary winding remains less than 1. That means the number turns in
secondary winding is higher than the primary winding.
CSA-C88-M90 clause 4.1 defines the rating as follows. “the rated load in
MV.A together with any other assigned characteristics, such as voltage,
current, and frequency assigned by the manufacturer. It shall be regarded as
a test rating that defines an output that can be taken from the apparatus
under prescribed conditions of test, and within the limitations of this
standard”. Further, ‘Basis of MV.A’ is defined in section 7.2. IEEE standard
C57.12.80-2010 clause 3.355 states the rating as follows:- “The rating of a
transformer consists of a volt-ampere output together with any other
characteristics, such as voltage, current, frequency, power factor, and
temperature rise, assigned to it by the manufacturer. It is regarded as a
rating associated with an output that can be taken from the transformer
conditions and limitations of established standards”. IEEE standard
C57.12.00-2010 clause 5.4.1 describes the rating as follows. “The rated KV.A
of a transformer shall be the output that can be delivered for the time
specified at rated secondary voltage and rated frequency without exceeding
the specified temperature-rise limitations under prescribed conditions of
test, and within the limits of established standards”.
IEC 60076-1, 2000 clause 4.1 states the rating as follows:- “The interpretation
of rated power according to this sub-clause implies that it is a value of
apparent power input to the transformer.
