Abstract:

Essentially, transformers consist of two electrical conductors called the primary winding and the secondary winding which are coupled magnetically together by a magnetic circuit. Transformers working is based on the principle that energy can be efficiently transferred by magnetic induction from one winding to another winding by a varying magnetic field produced by alternating current. The magnetic circuit or core of a transformer is designed to provide a path for magnetic field, which is necessary for induction of voltages between the windings. In this paper, we have a MATLAB-program that utilizes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to calculate the circuit parameters and efficiency of a power transformer. The GUI is designed in such a way to allow the user to enter the resistances and reactance of the primary and the secondary sides, the resistance and reactance that represent the core, the rating of the transformer and the transformer turn ratio. This program performs the calculations with respect to the exact and approximate models of transformers for both cases, referred to primary and to secondary. In addition, the MATLAB-based software presented in this paper will serve as a useful teaching and laboratory tool.
