-Introduction:
-We can not just simply take a laminated core and wrap one of the coil
configurations around it. We could but we may find that the secondary
voltage and current may be out-of-phase with that of the primary voltage
and current. The two coil windings do have a distinct orientation of one
with respect to the other. Either coil could be wound around the core
clockwise or anticlockwise so to keep track of their relative orientations
“dots” are used to identify a given end of each winding.
1-The first transformer shows its two “dots” side by side on the two
windings. The current leaving the secondary dot is “in-phase” with the
current entering the primary side dot. Thus the polarities of the voltages at
the dotted ends are also in-phase so when the voltage is positive at the
dotted end of the primary coil, the voltage across the secondary coil is also
positive at the dotted end.
2-The second transformer shows the two dots at opposite ends of the
windings which means that the transformers primary and secondary coil
windings are wound in opposite directions. The result of this is that the
current leaving the secondary dot is 180o “out-of-phase” with the current
entering the primary dot. So the polarities of the voltages at the dotted ends
are also out-of-phase so when the voltage is positive at the dotted end of
the primary coil, the voltage across the corresponding secondary coil will
be negative.
