Experiment: transformer ratio

The following experiment is to determine the transformer ratio for the circuit as set up in the previous experiment. In addition, the number of turns in the tapped windings for the primary and secondary are determined. Set up the experiment as illustrated below::

The animation below illustrates how the circuit is set up.

Open the three-phase power supply virtual instrument, make the settings shown in the following table and turn the instrument on. Three-phase power supply settings %re&uency' mplitude' () *+ 12 V

Open the virtual instruments Voltmeter A, Voltmeter B and make the settings shown in the table below.

Enter the resulting secondary voltage U2 in the following table. Then increase the primary voltage U1 in 1V steps and enter the secondary voltages produced in the relevant places in the table. t the end switch to !hart mode to see the characteristic U2 " f#U1$.

What is the shape of the resulting characteristic? A linear characteristic An exponentially increasing characteristic An exponentially falling characteristic A magnetisation characteristic

Now find out the number of turns in the secondary windings N2.1 and N2.2 according to the diagram below. The manufacturer quotes the number of turns on the primary

winding as being N1.1 = 156.

To determine the number of winding turns the connection between the two secondary winding needs to be removed and the output voltage tapped from just one of the two sub-windings. The ratio of that voltage to the voltage determined in the first part of the e periment will reveal the number of turns in each of the two sections of the secondary winding. !odify the e periment set-up appropriately" ta#e measurements and use the results to obtain the winding turns N$.1 and N$.$. %tip& use a primary voltage of 1'().

Now we will determine the number of turns for the second primary winding N1.$. -pply the primary voltage between terminals 1(1 and 1(.. /ompare the resulting secondary voltage with that obtained when the voltage was applied between 1(1 and 1($. The ratio between these two voltages along with the 0uoted number of turns N1.1 = 156 gives the desired number of turns N1.$. !odify the e periment set-up appropriately" ta#e measurements and use the

results to obtain the winding turns N1.$. %tip& use a primary voltage of 1'().
