• Aim:
Write a program to find out maximum flux density and no-load
current of single-phase transformer.

• Objective:
To find out Bm and I0 of a transformer with help of MATLAB.

• Theory:

The peak flux density in the core of the transformer is affected by

the following:
1. It is proportional to the RMS value of the voltage applied to the
primary winding (assuming it is a sine wave).
2. It is inversely proportional to the number of turns on the primary
winding.
3. It is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the core
around which the winding is placed.
Ep
Bm = Wb/m^2
4.44∗f∗Ai∗Tp

The no load current Io consists of two components : (i) magnetizing

current Im (ii) loss component Il and its value is given by
I0 = √Im^2 + Il^2
Thus, the estimation of no load current Io requires the calculation of
its two components i.e. Im and Il.
AT
Im =
√2Tp
Il = Pi/V
• Procedure:
1) Start the MATLAB

2) Create a new file

3) By using a given data find the value of Bm & I0.

4) Write a program to find out the maximum flux density and no-load
current of single-phase transformer.

5) Save the program.

• Problem:
Single phase, 400V 50Hz transformer is built from stamping
having a relative permeability of 1000. The length of flux path flux path
is 2.5m, the area of cross section of the core is 2.5*10 -3 m^2 and primary
winding has 800 turns. Estimate maximum flux density and no-load
current. The iron loss at the working flux density is 2.6W/Kg. Iron weight
is 7.8*103 Kg/m^3 stacking factor is 0.9.

• Program:
%To calculate Maximum flux density & No load current
Ep = 400
li = 2.5
f = 50
Wi = 7.8*10^3
Tp = 800
WB = 2.6
SF = 0.9
Acs = 2.5*10^-3
Ai = SF*Acs % Net iron area
Bm = (Ep)/(4.44*f*Ai*Tp)
FC = Bm*Ai % Flux in the core in Wb
AT = (li*Bm)/(1000*4*pi*10^-7) % Magnetizing MMF
 Im = AT/(1.41*Tp) % Magnetizing current in A
Vc = Ai*li
Wc = Vc*Wi
Pi = WB*Wc
I1 = Pi/Ep
IO = ((Im)^2+(I1)^2)^0.5 % No load current in A
• Output:
Ai = 0.0023
Bm = 1.0010
FC = 0.0023
AT = 1.9914e+03
Im = 1.7655
Vc = 0.0056
Wc = 43.8750
Pi = 114.0750
I1 = 0.2852
IO = 1.7883

• Result:
Sr. No. Theoretical Practical
Bm 1.001 1.001
Io 1.783 1.7831

• Conclusion:
In this way we have find the maximum flux density and no-load
current of single-phase transformer by using a MATLAB.
