SEPARATION OF CORE (OR IRON) LOSSES IN A TRANSFORMER

Hysteresis loss and eddy current loss are the components of the iron losses. For the applied fl ux density Bmax to the core, we have
Hysteresis loss = Af
and Eddy current loss = Bf2
The no load loss can be expressed as
Wc=Af+Bf2 (1.36)
where A and B are constants.
Therefore, images
Figure 1.38 shows the graph, which is a straight line when images and f are plotted along the y-axis and x-axis, respectively. The intercept on the y-axis gives the value of A, whereas the slope of the line gives the value of B. Now the hysteresis and eddy current loss can be determined at any desired frequency.
The experimental circuit arrangement for determining images and f is shown in Figure 1.39.
In Figure 1.39, a variable frequency alternator supplies to the transformer under the test, which is driven by DC shunt motor whose speed can be varied over a wide range. The switches S1 and S2 are opened and the alternator is started with the help of the DC shunt motor. The speed is adjusted to the

value of the required frequency. The excitation of the field coil (X-XX) is varied until the voltmeter on the secondary side of the transformer achieves the rated value. If E2 is the transformer emf on the secondary, we have
E2=4.44ΦmfN
i.e. images
For constant images, the flux density in the transformer remains constant. To achieve this, the frequency of the alternator emf is varied so that imagesremains constant. The necessary f can be adjusted to vary E2 so that imagesis kept constant. For different values of frequencies above and below the rated value, the reading of wattmeter (W) is noted. The graph imagesand f is drawn to get the constants A and B. After getting the value of A and B, the hysteresis loss and eddy current loss is obtained.

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...

Characteristics of Separately Excited D.C. Generators

The characteristics is separately excited d.c. generator are divided into two types, 1) Magnetization   and         2) Load characteristics. 1.1 Magnetization or Open Circuit Characteristics         The arrangement to obtain this characteristics is shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1  Obtaining O.C.C. of separately excited generator        The rheostat as a potential driver is used to control the field current and the flux. It is varied from zero and is measured on ammeter connected.        E o  = (ΦPNZ) / (60A)        As I f is varied, then Φ change and hence induced e.m.f. E o  also varies. It is measured on voltmeter connected across armature. No Load is connected to machine, hence characteristics are also called no load characteristics which is graph of E o  against field current I f as sho...

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...
