Opposes battery voltage Opposes flux buildup ECE 441 4
Transformer Action -- AC ECE 441 5
Opposes VT Opposes ΦM ECE 441 6
“No-Load” Condition ECE 441 7
“No load” condition continued Io = Ife + IM Io = exciting current Io provides the “magnetizing flux” and the “core loss” Ife = core-loss current Ife = VT / Rfe IM = magnetizing current IM = VT / j. XM ECE 441 8
Close the load switch Secondary current will set up an mmf in OPPOSITION to the primary mmf. The core flux will DECREASE to ECE 441 11
The decrease in flux causes a decrease in the counter-emf EP, and the primary current will increase by an amount known as IP, load, the load component of the primary current. Additional mmf due to this current adds to the magnetizing flux. ECE 441 12
Primary current increases until NPIP, load = NSIS. The flux ΦM and primary emf EP return to the same values as before the switch was closed. ECE 441 13
Final steady – state primary current under loaded conditions is ECE 441 14

ΦP = net flux in window of primary ΦS = net flux in window of secondary Φlp = leakage flux of primary Φls = leakage flux of secondary ΦM = mutual flux ΦP = ΦM + Φlp ΦS = ΦM – Φls ECE 441 16
