The effect of primary leakage flux @, is to introduce an inductive reactance X; in series
with the primary winding as shown in Fig Similarly. the secondary leakage flux 0,
introduces an inductive reactance Xz in series with the secondary winding. There will
[Link] power loss due to leakage reactance. However, the presence of leakage reactance,
in the windings changes the power factor as well as there is voltage loss due to IX'drop.
Transformer on No-load *
Consider a practical transformer on no load i.e., secondary on open-circuit as shown in
Fig. 16 (i) The primary side will draw a small current lo to supply the iron losses and a
very small amount of copper loss in the primary. Hence the primary no load current Ip
is not 90° behind the applied voltage V,, but lags it by an angle > < 90° as shown in
the phasor diagram in Fig. 16 (ii)

‘As seen from the phasor diagram in Fig. 16 (i) the no-load primary current Ig can be
resolved into two rectangular components viz.
+ The component Iyy in phase with the applied voltage Vy. This is known
as active or working or iron loss component and supplies the iron loss
and a very small primary copper loss.

It is emphasized here that no load primary copper loss (i.e. (sR; ) is very small and may
be neglected. Therefore, the no load primary input power is practically equal to the
iron loss in'the transformer i.e.. ‘
‘ No load input power, Wo = Iron loss i
NB: At no load, there is no current in the secondary so that Vz = Ez .Qn the
primary side, the drops in Ry and X,, due to /g are also very small because of the
smaliness of Ig. Hence, we can say that at no load, Yy = Ey.

The angle at which fp leads or lags Vp (or £2) depends upon the resistance and reactance
of the load. In the present case, we have considered inductive load so that current [lags
behind V2 (or Ep) by @2. The secondary current /2 sets up an mmf Nz! which produces
a flux in the opposite direction to the flux @ originally set up in the primary by the
magnetizifig current. This will change the flux in the core from’ the original value:
However, the flux in the core should not change from the original value.
In Order to fulfill this condition, the primary must develop an mmf which exactly
counterbalances the secondary mmf No/z Hence a primary current 1, must flow such
that
a has cts hg)
Thus, when a transformer is loaded and carries a secondary current Ja, then a current
= (Klz) must flow in the primary to maintain the mmf balance. In other words, the
primary must draw enough current to neutralize the demagnetizing effect of secondary
current $0 that mutual flux @ remains constant. Thus, as the secondary current increases.
the primary current f,(= Kia) increases in unison and keeps the mutual flux @ constant.
‘The power input, therefore, automatically increases with the output.
For example, if K=2 and [,=2A, then primary will draw'a current fy = Kl, = 2x2 =
4A. Ii ly is increased to 4A, then primary current will become f = Kl, = 2x 4 = BA.
Fig. 17 shows the phasor diagram of an ideal transformer on load. Note that in drawing
the phasor diagram, the value of K has been assumed unity so that primary phasors are
‘equal to 3econddty phasors: The secondary current |, lags behind Vz (or E2) by 03. It
causes a primary current f, = Klz= 1 fp which is in antiphase with it.
Therefore 0, = 0; or Cos 0, = Cos @» thus, power factor on the primary side is equal
to the power factor on the secondary side. Since there are no losses in an ideal
transformer, input primary power is equal to the secondary output power ie. Vilycos

Transformer Core
In the construction of transformers two types of core constructions are normally
employed, the Core type and the Shell type
In core type transformer, windings are cylindrical former wound, mounted on the core
limbs as shown in the Figure 18, The cylindrical coils have different layers and each layer
is insulated from each other. Materials like paper. cloth or mica can be used for
insulation. Low voltage windings are placed nearer to the core. as they re-easier to
insulate. Whereas in the shell type the windings are wound around the center leg of a
three-legged magnetic core. To reduce core losses, the magnetic core is formed of
‘stack of thin laminations.

Classification of Transformer :
Transformers can be classified on different basis, like types of construction. purpose
usage etc. Below are some of these classifications:
* On the basis of construction: Transformers can be classified into two types ast
Core type transformer and Shell type transformer, as described in Fig 18 above.
