TOTAL APPROXIMATE VOLTAGE DROP OF A TRANSFORMER

During no-load condition, induced voltages at the primary and secondary windings are equal to the applied voltage and secondary terminal voltage respectively. If 0V2 be the secondary terminal voltage at no load, we can write E2 = 0V2. Let V2 be the secondary voltage on load. Figure 1.40 shows the phasor diagram of a transformer referred to as secondary.
In Figure 1.40, R02 and X02 are the equivalent resistance and reactance of the transformer, respec-tively, referred to as secondary side. With O as centre, an arc is drawn in Figure 1.40, which intersects the extended OA at H. From C, a perpendicular is drawn on OH, which intersects it at G. Now AC = AH represents the actual drop and AG represents the approximate voltage drop. BF is drawn perpendicular to OH. BE is drawn parallel to AG, which is equal to FG.
The approximate voltage drop
= AG = AF+ FG = AF+ BE
= I2R02cosθ+I2X02sinθ (1.39)

This approximate voltage drop shown in Equation (1.39) is for lagging power factor only.
For leading power factor, the approximate voltage drop will be
= I2R02cosθI2X02sinθ (1.40)
where ‘+’ sign is for lagging power factor and ‘-’ sign is for leading power factor.
The above calculation is referred to as secondary. It may be noted that voltage drop referred to as primary is
I1R01cosθ±I1X01sinθ (1.41)
∴% voltage drop in secondary is=images

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  ...

Winding Pitches

Now we will consider the definitions of different types of winding pitches, required in the design of the armature winding. 1.1 Back Pitch         The distance which is measured interns of armature conductors i.e. between top and bottom coil sides of a coil measured around the back of the armature i.e. away from the commutator is called back pitch and is denoted by . It is measured interms of coil sides. Note : Since it is difference between odd and even number, it is always odd number.        The size of the coil is decided by the back pitch. The back pitch is normally equal to coilsides per pole. It is shown for lap and wave type of winding in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1        The back pitch for the winding shown in the Fig. 1 is y b = 14 - 1 = 13 as coilsides 1and 14 are of coil number 1. 1.2 Front Pitch        It is defined as the distance measured between two c...
