Transformers Flashcards
Worked with electromagnets and discover the property of induction
Jospeh Henry
Michael Faraday
Used induction coils in their lighting system
Ganz Company (Budapest, Hungary)
Develops his own design of transformer ( Brush Electric Company)
Charles Francis Brush
First built a “secondary generator” / step down transformer
Lucien Gaulard
John Dixon Gibbs
Suggested the use of closed-cores
Otto Blathy
Use of shunt connections
Karoly Zipemowsky
Performed the experimemts
Miksa Deri
Found out that high voltage circuit work using transformers in parallel
Blathy
Zipemowsky
Deri
Orders a siemens alternator
George Westinghouse
Makes the transformer more practical to use
William Stanley
Changes low voltage into higher voltage or bice versa in AC current
Transformer
Coupled conductors
Transformer coils
Parts of a transformer
Primary coil
Secondary
Iron core
Provides parh for tge magnetic lines of flux
Core
Built up of laminated layers of iron
Ferromagnetic core
Receives energy from the AC source
Primary winding
Receives energy from the primary winding
Secondary winding
Protects tge above components from dirt
Enclosure
Putting two couls together but not touching produce magnetic field
Inductance effect
Property of a circuit wgere enery is stored in tge form of electromagnetic field
Inductance
Inductance was discovere by
Joseph Henry and Michael Faraday
A changing magbetuc field induces a changing _______
Electromagnetic force / voltage
Measure of tge amount of magnetic field passing through
Magnetic Flux/ Magnetic flux density
Magnetic flux symbol
Phi
Types of transformer
Closed core Autotransformer Shell type Air core Open core
Built with a square core of ferromagnetic material
Closed core
Electrical transformer with one winding
Autotransformer
Single coil acting on itself
Auto prefix
Most efficient type of transformer
Used two closed core
Shell type transformer
Does not have a ferromagnetic core to link the prinary and secodary coils
Air core transformer
Primary and secondary are wound on one cylindrical core
Highly inefficient
Open core transformer
Change in voltage is _________ to the ratio of number of turns
Directlt proportional
Turns ratio =
Ns / Np
Transformer with a turn ratio greater than 1
Step up transformer
Used to produce high kVp for xray
Step up transformer
Turns ratio os less than 1
Step down transformer
Transformer law
Vs / Vp = Ns / Np
Transformer law and current
Is / Ip = Np / Ns
Np/ Ns =1/ TR
