Mutual Inductance
Transformers are constructed of two coils placed so that the charging flux developed by one will link the other. The coil to which the source is applied is called the primary coil. The coil to which the load is applied is called the secondary coil. Three basic operations of a transformer are:

Mutual Inductance
When two coils are placed close to each other, a changing flux in one coil will cause an induced voltage in the second coil. The coils are said to have mutual inductance M, which can either add or subtract from the total inductance depending on if the fields are aiding or opposing. Mutual inductance is the ability of one inductor to induce a voltage across a neighboring inductor.

Mutual Inductance
Mutual inductances M12 and M21 are equal. They are referred as M. We refer to M as the mutual inductance between two coils. M is measured in Henrys. Mutual inductance exists when two coils are close to each other. Mutual inductance effect exist when circuits are driven by time varying sources. Recall that inductors act like short circuits to DC.

Dot Convention
If the current ENTERS the dotted terminal of one coil, the reference polarity of the mutual voltage in the second coil is POSITIVE at the dotted terminal of the second coil. If the current LEAVES the dotted terminal of one coil, the reference polarity of the mutual voltage in the second coil is NEGATIVE at the dotted terminal of the second coil.

Linear Transformers
A transformer is generally a four-terminal device comprising two or more magnetically coupled coils. The transformer is called LINEAR if the coils are wound on magnetically linear material. For a LINEAR TRANSFORMER flux is proportional to current in the windings. Resistances R1 and R2 account for losses in the coils. The coils are named as PRIMARY and SECONDARY.

Ideal Transformers
A Ideal Transformer is a unity Coupled, lossless transformer in which the primary and secondary coils have infinite self inductances. A Transformer is ideal if: L1 , L2 , M 1.) Large reactance coils; 2.) Unity Coupling k=1. 3.) Coils are lossless (R1=R2=0)

Non Ideal Transformers


An ideal transformer has no power loss; all power applied to the primary is all delivered to the load. Actual transformers depart from this ideal model. Some loss mechanisms are:
Winding resistance: Causing power to be dissipated in the windings. Hysteresis loss: Due to the continuous reversal of the magnetic field. Core losses: Due to circulating current in the core (eddy currents). Flux leakage: Flux from the primary that does not link to the secondary. Winding capacitance: It has a bypassing effect for the windings.

The ideal transformer does not dissipate power. Power delivered from the source is passed on to the load by the transformer. The efficiency of a transformer is the ratio of power delivered to the load (Pout) to the power delivered to the primary (Pin).

Input-Output Variables of an Ideal Transformer


The input and output voltages and currents of an ideal transformer are related only by the turns ratio.

V1 = j L1 I1 + j MI 2 V2 = j MI1 + j L2 I 2

I1 =

V1 j MI 2 j L1

MV1 j M 2 I 2 V2 = j L2 I 2 + L1 L1 Substitute

Perfect Coupling k = 1, Thus we have M = L1 L2 V2 = j L2 I 2 + L1 L2 V1 j L1 L2 I 2 = L1 L1

Transformer Dot Convention


Transformer DOT convention is needed to assign the polarity of the output variables. 1.) If V1 and V2 are BOTH + or BOTH at the dotted terminals use +n, otherwise n. 2.) If I1 and I2 BOTH ENTER or BOTH LEAVE the dotted terminals use n, otherwise +n.
