It i a long lab and require the full 3 hour to omlete. Divide into grou of (or more if neeary). Someone mut have the following role: Exerimentalit: Taking meaurement off the oillooe Theorit: Doing alulation and organizing exerimental data Hint: If uing exel, enure all angle are in radian for trig funtion NOTE: Eah grou member mut reare hi own lab reort. Lab reort i to inlude re-lab quetion anwer. Introdution The objetive of thi lab are to invetigate: a) The relationhi between urrent and voltage in the rimary and eondary winding of a tranformer. b) Imedane tranformation with a tranformer. ) How well a widely-ued equivalent iruit deribe the behavior of a real tranformer. d) How real tranformer have a limited frequeny range of ueful oeration. e) A egment of a ower tranmiion line for home delivery. Pre-lab quetion: ) Baed on the theory etion rovided derive equation (4) tarting from equation et (.A) and (.B). ) Uing the voltage and urrent tranformation equation, (4) and (6), obtain the imedane tranformation (5). 3) Define leakage indutane. 4) Define magnetization indutane. 5) Deribe Eddy urrent and how they lead to ower lo in a real tranformer 6) Deribe hyterei loe and how they lead to ower lo in a tranformer. 7) What te are taken to minimize Eddy urrent loe and hyterei loe in real tranformer? 8) Draw a hemati of a large ale ower ditribution network tarting from the megawatt generator and branhing out to different onumer load (reidential, indutrial, ).
. Theory The tarting oint for analyzing the tranformer i the bai equivalent iruit of figure. In thi iruit, L the indutane of the eondary, and M the mutual indutane between the two oil. Current and voltage in the tranformer are deribed by ~ ~ v~ L di M di = (.A) dt dt ~ ~ v~ M di L di = dt (.B) dt In the following we will ue the ymbol v ~ to rereent a omlex voltage, and v to rereent the voltage amlitude. M i related to L and L by: M = k L L () where k i the fration of the flux in eah turn of oil whih alo thread eah turn of oil. Alo, if there are N turn in the rimary and N turn in the eondary: L N a N L = = (3) where a = N i the turn ratio of the tranformer. In a well-deigned iron ore tranformer, N k i loe to. In an ideal tranformer it i aumed that k =. In thi ae: v = N = a (4) v N If a load reitane, R L i onneted aro the eondary of the tranformer, it an alo be hown v that the inut imedane, Z i, een "looking into" the rimary i given aroximately by in = (ideal tranformer exreion): i Z in R L = a (5) The tranformer an therefore rovide a very valuable imedane tranformation funtion. It hould be noted that (5) i an aroximation whih i only valid if ω L >> a RL. In other word, for imedane tranformation to work it i vital that the magnitude of the reatane aoiated with the tranformer rimary winding be muh larger than the tranformed load reitane. Under thi ondition, it an alo be hown that the urrent in the rimary and eondary are related by:
i = a (6) i Figure : Bai tranformer equivalent iruit. It i often onvenient to redraw the equivalent iruit of figure in the form hown in figure below. The ideal tranformer in the enter of thi iruit ha the ame turn ratio a a the real tranformer, but ha erfet flux ouling and infinite indutane in the rimary and eondary oil. The indutane ( k) L i ometime alled the leakage indutane, while kl i the magnetizing indutane. You hould be able to how that thi iruit give exatly the ame relationhi between voltage and urrent at the terminal a the iruit of figure. Figure : Alternative tranformer equivalent iruit. Loe in real tranformer are often aroximately modeled by adding to reitane to the equivalent iruit of figure, giving the iruit of figure 3. The reitor R rereent the reitane of the rimary winding, and R the reitane of the eondary winding. Reitane R aroximately rereent loe due to hyterei and Eddy urrent in the ore.
Figure 3 Tranformer equivalent iruit allowing for loe Figure 3 i till an aroximate derition of the real tranformer. It make no allowane for the aaitane between the winding in the rimary and the eondary, for the fat that the reitane of the winding i ditributed throughout the oil and annot be rereented by a ingle lumed reitor, nor for the deendene of ore loe and ore ermeability on frequeny. When the eondary winding are horted, the equivalent iruit for the rimary redue to that of figure 4. Thi iruit how that by meauring the inut imedane with the eondary horted it i oible to determine the winding reitane and the leakage indutane. Figure 3: Equivalent iruit with eondary horted. Uually we will have R and ωkl both muh greater than the erie ombination of R + a R ω k L in whih ae the equivalent iruit redue to that of figure 5. and ( )

Equiment and Proedure Figure 5: Equivalent iruit with eondary oen. The tranformer onidered in thi lab i a tyial low ot audio tranformer deigned to imedane math all 8 Ω eaker to a tranitor amlifier outut tage over the frequeny range from aroximately 0 Hz to 0 khz. The ore of thi tranformer onit of "oft" iron late laminated to redue Eddy urrent loe. To omlete the lab, it will be neeary to meaure the urrent flowing in the rimary of the tranformer. Thi will be done by onneting a mall reitor in erie with the rimary, and meauring the voltage dro aro thi reitor.
Figure 7: Exerimental etu. One ide of the tranformer rimary i onneted to the lug marked "Outut" on the funtion generator. There i a able on eah ide of the rimary onneted to the oillooe. A wire i ued to onnet the 0 Ω reitor in erie (ee figure 7). The outut labeled CH on the board give v, while the outut labeled CH i the voltage aro the reitor, whih an be ued to find i. In your lab book draw the equivalent iruit. Are the ground ide of the oe inut onneted together? How to ue the Oillooe: To meaure the voltage, re Meaure, then re more otion until you find amlitude Pk to Pk To meaure the hae angle, re Meaure, then roll down to a above and re Phae (make ure the hae differene i being alulated from CH to CH otherwie your angle will be negative) If the angle i the omlementary angle (for examle 0 ο intead of 60 ο ), then move the urve horizontally) To ale roerly, uually the Auto Sale will be enough but make ure when taking meaurement that you ee to 4 yle. (Not too zoomed in or zoomed out)
To find the inut imedane of the tranformer, we will need to meaure the hae angle φ between v and i. Thi an be done by dilaying both the voltage and urrent waveform on the oillooe and etting the time bae to the longet value for whih a half-eriod T/ of both waveform i viible. Letting t ο be the time differene between the zero roing of the voltage waveform and the zero roing of the urrent waveform, we have: t φ 360 T Traditionally we would meaure the time differene, to, to find the angle, but newer oillooe are able to diretly meaure the hae angle. Thi tehnique i illutrated in figure 8. ο ο = (7) Figure 8: Meauring hae differene between v and i ; voltage lead urrent in thi ae. In an ideal indutor, urrent lag voltage by 90 o. We will define thi to be a oitive hae angle. If urrent lead voltage (the ae in a aaitor), the hae angle i negative. Throughout thi lab, it i imortant to note whether urrent lead voltage or vie vera.
