Transformer:Simplified Diagram

Simplified Diagram

The vector diagram of Fig. 32.29 may be considerably simplified if the no-load current I0 is neglected. Since I0 is 1 to 3 per cent of full-load primary current I1, it may be neglected without serious error. Fig. 32.32 shows the diagram of Fig. 32.29 with I0 omitted altogether.

In Fig. 32.32, V2, V 1, f2 are known, hence E2 can be found by adding vectorially I2 R2 and I2 X 2 to V 2. Similarly, V 1 is given by the vector addition of I1 R1 and I1 X 1 to E1. All the to the secondary side as shown in figure, where the upper part of the diagram has been rotated through 180°. However, it should be noted that each voltage or voltage drop should be multiplied by transformation ratio K.

The lower side of the diagram has been shown separately in Fig. 2.34 laid horizontally where vector for V 2 has been taken along X-axis.

Total Approximate Voltage Drop in a Transformer

When the transformer is on no-load, then V 1 is ap- proximately equal to E1. Hence E2 = KE1 = K V1. Also, E2 = 0V 2 where 0V2 is secondary terminal voltage on no- 0 load, hence no-load secondary terminal voltage is K V1. The secondary voltage on load is V2. The difference be- tween the two is I2 Z02 as shown in Fig. 32.35. The approximate voltage drop of the transformer as referred to secondary is found thus :

With O as the centre and radius OC draw an arc cutting OA produced at M. The total voltage drop I2 Z02 = AC = AM which is approximately equal to A N. From B draw BD perpendicular on OA produced. Draw CN perpendicular to OM and draw BL parallel to OM.

Exact Voltage Drop

With reference to Fig. 32.35, it is to be noted that exact voltage drop is AM and not A N. If we add the quantity NM to A N, we will get the exact value of the voltage drop.

Considering the right-angled triangle OCN, we get

Total Loss in a D.C. Generator The various losses occurring in a generator can be sub-divided as follows : where R a = resistance of armature and interpoles and series field winding etc. This loss is about 30 to 40% of full-load losses. Field copper loss. In the case of shunt generators, it is practically constant and I 2 R (or V I sh ). In the case of series generator, it is = I s e 2 R s e where R s e is resistance of the series field winding. This loss is about 20 to 30% of F.L. losses. (iii) The loss due to brush contact resistance. It is usually included in the armature copper loss. (b) Magnetic Losses (also known as iron or core losses), (i) hysteresis loss, W h µ B max f and ( ii ) eddy current loss, W e µ B max f These losses are practically constant for shunt and compound-wound generators, because in their case, field current is approximately constant. Both these losses total up to about 20 to 30% of F.L. losses. (c) Mechanica l Losses. These consist of :

Testing of d.c.Machines:Brake Test

By -
Image
Brake Test It is a direct method and consists of applying a brake to a water-cooled pulley mounted on the motor shaft as shown in Fig. 31.1. The brake band is fixed with the help of wooden blocks gripping the pulley. One end of the band is fixed to earth via a spring balance S and the other is connected to a suspended weight W 1. The motor is running and the load on the motor is adjusted till it carries its full load current. The simple brake test described above can be used for small motors only, because in the case of large motors, it is difficult to dissipate the large amount of heat generated at the brake. Another simple method of measuring motor output is by the use of poney brake one form of which is shown in Fig. 31.2 ( a ). A rope is wound round the pulley and its two ends are attached to two spring balances S 1 and S 2. The tension of the rope can be adjusted with the help of swivels. Obviously, the force acting tangentially on the pulley is equal to the differ ence

Transformer,three phase:Wye/Delta or Y/∆ Connection and Delta/Wye or ∆/Y Connection.

Wye/Delta or Y/∆  Connection The main use of this connection is at the substation end of the transmission line where the voltage is to be stepped down. The primary winding is Y -connected with grounded neutral as shown in Fig. 33.6. The ratio between the secondary and primary line voltage is 1/ 3 times the transformation ratio of each trans- former. There is a 30° shift between the primary and secondary line voltages which means that a Y - D transformer bank cannot be paralleled with either a Y - Y or a D - D bank. Also, third harmonic currents flows in the D to provide a sinusoidal flux. Delta/Wye or ∆/Y Connection This connection is generally employed where it is necessary to step up the voltage as for example, at the beginning of high tension transmission system. The connection is shown in Fig. 33.7. The neutral of the secondary is grounded for providing 3-phase 4-wire service. In recent years, this connection has gained considerable popularity because it can be used to serve
