Electronic – Transformer modelling and impedance

mathtransformer

This three-part question is algebraic and non-numerical in nature so as to be rigorous and the transferable.

Part one

How does one model a transformer in a circuit? Take the following rudimentary schematic.
Hand-drawn circuit diagram

Would this be equivalent (for linear operation) to Transformer model with dependent source

where \$L_1\$, dependent source \$V_T\$ and \$L_2\$ represent \$T_1\$?

\$L_1\$ and \$L_2\$ are ideal components which should in practice have ac resistance, dc resistance and interwinding capacitance.

If so, is the calculation of \$V_2\$:
$$V_{L_1}=V_1 \cdot \frac{j \omega L_1}{R_1+j \omega L_1}$$

$$V_T=\frac{Z_S^2}{Z_P^2} \cdot V_{L_1}$$
$$V_2 = \frac{R_3}{R_2 + R_3 + j \omega L_1}
\frac{(j \omega L_2)^2}{(j \omega L_1)^2}
\left(V_1 \cdot
\frac{j \omega L_1}{R_1+j \omega L_1}
\right)$$

Follow-up: Is it the ratio of the inductive impedance which gives the transformation of voltage or current, or does the non-ideal inductor ac-resistance, dc-resistance and interwinding-capacitance also count in the formulae
$$\frac{Z_S^2}{Z_P^2}=\frac{V_S}{V_P}$$

Part Two

How does the the impedance of the circuit attached to the secondary coil affect the primary circuit

  • impedance
  • current
  • phase

Part Three

If the Phase of the voltage source \$V_1\$ is zero (\$V_1 + j 0 )\$, what would be the phase of the voltage and current in the secondary circuit.

Best Answer

Answering part 3, as secondary load increases from infinite Z, secondary current is drawn and that current induces a voltage in the primary. The polarity of induction is opposing the external primary energy source; given some tiny source impedance, the voltage across that source impedance is increasing, thus the primary current is increasing,
