1ϕ and 3ϕ Transformer for Open-Circuit and Short-Circuit testAbstract Transformer is a static devices that changes Ac electric power at one voltage level into AC electric power at another voltage level through the action of a magnetic field. It consists of two or more coils of wire wrapped around a common ferromagnetic core. These coils are not directly connected usually. The only connection between the coils is the common magnetic flux present within the core. One of the transformer windings is connected to a source of AC electric power, and the second transformer winding supplies electric power to loads. The transformer winding connected to a power source is called the primary winding or input winding. The winding connected to the loads is called the secondary winding or output winding.
Introduction The open-circuit test, or "no-load test", is one of the methods used in electrical engineering to determine the no-load impedance in the excitation branch of a transformer. In this experiment, open-circuit test is conducted on single-phase and three-phase transformer to determine the iron core resistance, Rc and magnetized reactance, Xm.
The purpose of short-circuit test is to determine the series branch parameters of the equivalent circuit of a Real transformer. The series branch parameters is the summation of primary and referred secondary resistances and reactance if refer to primary sides. In other words, short-circuit test is conducted on single-phase and three-phase transformers to determine the winding resistance, Req and leakage reactance, Xeq.
The aim of this experiment is to measure, determine and analyses the parameters of single-phase or three-phase transformer and torque-speed characteristics of rotating machines.
Besides that, we are required to differentiate the construction and winding of single-phase or three-phase transformer. Through this experiment, we have to develop the connection wiring for single-phase and three-phase transformer and

    To ensure that the investigation is carried out in fair way, the wire must be measured as accurately as possible and the same circuit and power supply must be used throughout as different power supplies may have different voltages. The experiment will be repeated three times for each length of wire, with low, medium and high resistor. Also, an average should be taken to enable that the test results are reliable.…

    Transformers

    Ans: A transformer is an electrical apparatus designed to convert alternating current from one voltage to another. It can be designed to “step up” or “step down” voltages and works on the magnetic induction principle. A transformer has no moving parts and is a completely static solid state device, which insures, under normal operating conditions, a long and trouble-free life. Construction of transformer is very simple, two or more coils of insulated wire wound on a laminated steel or iron core. When voltage is introduced to one coil, called the primary winding, it magnetizes the iron core. A voltage is then induced in the other coil, called the secondary winding or output coil. The change of voltage (or voltage ratio) between the primary and secondary depends on the turns ratio of the two coils.…

    TRANSFORMER PROJECT You can make a transformer from magnet wire and an iron rod. Remember that magnet wire, although it looks bare, actually has an enamel coating on the outside that serves as insulation. Enamel is used on magnet wire so that the insulation is very thin and the coil of wire can be compacted into a smaller space, thus enhancing the inductive phenomenon.…

    Rectifiers

    • 504 Words

    A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) and the process is known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power supplies and as detectors of radio signals. Rectifiers may be made of solid state diodes, vacuum tube diodes, mercury arc valves, and other components. When only one diode is used to rectify AC (by blocking the negative or positive portion of the waveform), the difference between the term diode and the term rectifier is merely one of usage, i.e., the term rectifier describes a diode that is being used to convert AC to DC. Almost all rectifiers comprise a number of diodes in a specific arrangement for more efficiently converting AC to DC than is possible with only one diode. Rectifiers are broadly classified into three categories based on their type of rectification viz. half wave rectifier, full wave rectifier, and bridge rectifiers. In half wave rectification, either the positive or negative half of the AC wave is passed, while the other half is blocked. Because only one half of the input waveform reaches the output, it is very inefficient if used for power transfer. Half-wave rectification can be achieved with a single diode in a one-phase supply, or with three diodes in a three-phase supply. A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant polarity (positive or negative) at its output. Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of the input waveform to DC (direct current), and is more efficient. However, in a circuit with a non-centre tapped transformer, four diodes are required instead of the one needed for halfwave rectification. Four diodes arranged this way are called a diode bridge or bridge rectifier. An aspect of most rectification is a loss from the peak input voltage to the peak output voltage, caused by the built-in voltage drop across the diodes (around 0.7 V for ordinary silicon p-n-junction…
