Power transformer magnetization under different frequency supply
Abstract
Transformer is a vital link in a power system which has made possible the power
generated at low voltage to be stepped up to extra high voltages for transmission over
long distances and then transformed to low voltages for distribution substation. This
project specify about the different frequency supply to no load loss single phase
transformer. Power loss is the energy dissipated during the cycling of a steel magnetic
state at a frequency and peak induction relatable to its end application. This loss may be
subdivided into two principle components, hysteresis loss and eddy-current loss in core
laminations. Increasing of the thickness, power losses also increase. The hysteresis loss
is directly proportional to frequency supply and to the area of hysteresis loop for the
material used. Under operational condition, the hysteresis loss and eddy-current loss are
practically constant for a given applied voltage and unaffected by the load on the
transformer. Normally the power transformer is design for 50Hz or 60Hz operate. In this
project, the transformer performance in term of magnetization that affected by various
frequency will be evaluated.
