  2. Transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

    An ideal transformer is linear, lossless and perfectly coupled. Perfect coupling implies infinitely high core magnetic permeability and winding inductance and zero net magnetomotive force (i.e. i p n p − i s n s = 0). [3] [c] Ideal transformer connected with source V P on primary and load impedance Z L on secondary, where 0 < Z L < ∞.

  3. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    Electromagnetic induction was first described by ... is constant over the current range, the stored ... Ideal transformers normalize all self-inductances to 1 Henry ...

  4. Leakage inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leakage_inductance

    Leakage inductance has the useful effect of limiting the current flows in a transformer (and load) without itself dissipating power (excepting the usual non-ideal transformer losses). Transformers are generally designed to have a specific value of leakage inductance such that the leakage reactance created by this inductance is a specific value ...

  5. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday's law of induction (or simply Faraday's law) is a law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (emf). This phenomenon, known as electromagnetic induction , is the fundamental operating principle of transformers , inductors , and many types of electric ...

  6. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    Real transformer equivalent circuit. One case of voltage regulation is in a transformer. The unideal components of the transformer cause a change in voltage when current flows. Under no load, when no current flows through the secondary coils, V nl is given by the ideal model, where V S = V P *N S /N P.

  7. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    For example, a 1000:1 CT provides an output current of 1 amperes when 1000 amperes flow through the primary winding. Standard secondary current ratings are 5 amperes or 1 ampere, compatible with standard measuring instruments. The secondary winding can be single ratio or have several tap points to provide a range of ratios. Care must be taken ...

  8. Polarity (mutual inductance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_(mutual_inductance)

    Transformers are said to have "additive" or "subtractive" polarity based on their physical arrangement of terminals and the polarity of windings connected to the terminals. The convention used for North American transformers is that, facing the high voltage side of the transformer, the H1 terminal is on the observer's right.

  9. Induction coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_coil

    Induction coil showing construction, from 1920. An induction coil or "spark coil" (archaically known as an inductorium or Ruhmkorff coil [1] after Heinrich Rühmkorff) is a type of electrical transformer [2] [3] [4] used to produce high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current (DC) supply.
