AN EXPERIMENT WITH TRANSFORMERS A Report by Anirbit Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) The Objectives : Part A Usually while writing the transformer equations we neglect the mutual inductance of the coils and hence there is no dependence of the current in the primary to the details of the secondary circuit . But it would be shown through the following experiment that the current in the primary is non-trivially dependent on the resistance of the secondary and hence the effect of the mutual inductance cannot be ignored. It shall be shown theoretically that that the effect of the mutual inductance manifests itself coupled with the self-inductance of the secondary coil as a factor named as the “ reflected impedance “ . Part B It is to be noted that the differential equations in time that a three arm transformer follows are extremely complex to solve though a steady state circuit analysis is feasible. i) In the following the aforementioned fact shall be exploited to get a qualitative idea of the distribution of the flux of the primary in the left and the right secondaries ( gauged by its manifestations through potential differences and currents ) in a 3 arm transformer by varying the loads in the 2 arms . ii) Secondly we shall also show how the dependency of the potential across a secondary coil on the current through it shows drastic changes depending on the load in the other secondary. iii) Thirdly we shall show that there exists a strong linear dependency of the magnitude of impedance of the primary on the resistance of a secondary circuit irrespective of what the load in the other secondary is. 2. Part A The experimental set-up and the circuit details… In this part of the experiment the following circuit is set up : where The left side is the primary circuit of the transformer and the right ride is the secondar
