THEORY OF TRANSFORMER

Figure 1.20 shows the elementary diagram of an ideal transformer with secondary side open circuited. It has no ohmic resistance and leakage reactance. There is no loss in an ideal transformer. In Figure 1.16, alternating voltage (V1) is applied at the primary and hence alternating current flows in the primary. The primary draws the magnetizing current Iμ only because it is purely inductive in nature. Iμ is small in magnitude and lags behind V1 by an angle 90°. The function of Iμ is to magnetize the core, and it produces an alternating flux (Φ), which is proportional to Iμ. The alternating flux (Φ) is linked with both primary and secondary windings and causes self-induced emf (E1) in the primary. This self-induced emf (E1) is equal and opposite to V1 at every instant. This induced emf is known as back emf or counter emf. Due to mutual induction, an emf E2 is produced in the secondary. This emf is known as mutually induced emf. It is anti-phase with V1 and its magnitude is proportional to the rate of flux as well as the number of turns of the secondary windings.
Figure 1.21(a) shows the instantaneous values of applied voltage, induced emfs, flux and magnetizing current by sinusoidal waves, while Figure 1.21(b) shows the vectorial representation of the effective values of the above quantities.

Practical Commutation

The e.m.f. induced in each coil of armature is alternating in nature. If load is connected, the current flowing will also be alternating. But the flow of current in a d.c. generator must be undirectional. This can be achieved by the use of commutator. When the armature conductors are under the influence of one pole they carry current in one direction whereas the current is reversed when the conductors are under the influence of other pole. This reversal of current takes place along the magnetic neutral axis. Fig. 1 Note : The reversal of current is likely to take place in short interval when a coil is short circuited by a brush so that transfer of current from one direction to other is carried out without any sparking. This process is called commutation.        Thus a process by which current in the short circuited coil is reversed while it crosses the MNA is called commutation. The time during which the coil remains short circuited is known as...

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  ...

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...
