Key Characteristics of an Practical Transformers
- Because of winding resistance there is power loss in practical transformers in form of heat energy.
- All the flux generated in the primary coil is not linked with the secondary coil and because of this there is flux leakage.
- In practical transformer there are both core loss as well as hysteresis loss is observed.
- In the practical transformers there is finite permeability.
- The core material requires a certain amount of magnetomotive force (MMF) to establish the magnetic flux, leading to additional losses.
Difference between Ideal Transformer and Practical Transformer
Transformers use the concept of electromagnetic induction to transmit electrical energy between two or more circuits. There are two types of transformers which are Ideal Transformer and Practical Transformer. We will discuss the operational differences between an ideal and practical transformer in this article.
