Determination of the Ratio of Transformation and of the Phase Relations in Transformers (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Determination of the Ratio of Transformation and of the Phase Relations in Transformers<br><br>Usually the phase of the secondary is so nearly the reverse of the primary phase that the error with high power-factors would be insignificant, but with low power-factors a large error might be introduced, as may be seen by reference to the numerical examples given below. In view of these facts, it is thought desirable to publish the methods of measurement of these quantities in use at the Bureau of Standards.<br><br>In the vector diagram, Fig. i, are shown the various quantities which go to determine the ratio of the transformer. The length of the vector is proportional to the maximum value of the quantity, and it is considered to be rotating uniformly in a counter clockwise direction. Its projection on a fixed diameter will then represent the instantaneous value of the quantity, assuming it to be sinusoidal. The angles between the vectors represent the phase-angles of the corresponding quantities.<br><br>represents the magnetic flux linking both primary and secondary windings. It induces in the secondary winding an electromotive force E2 and in the primary winding an electromotive force in the same direction, but of different magnitude, fixed by the number of turns.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
