 Mutual Flux and Leakage Flux

Mutual flux and Leakage flux in a transformer


Electrical energy in a transformer is first converted to magnetic energy in the core and then converted back to electrical energy in the secondary coil. The flux that is produced by the primary MMF actually carries the energy to the secondary side. 
For proper operation of the transformer, it is thus necessary that the flux should find an easy path through the core so that it can link both the two coils. The magnetic core of a transformer including the limb and yoke, thus, must be made from good quality ferromagnetic material with low reluctance. 
Such magnetic flux, which links both primary and secondary coils while passing entirely through the core, is termed as the useful flux or the mutual flux as shown in figure. 

Apart from the useful flux, there are so called leakage fluxes, those complete their path through air or other nearby metal parts, thereby not linking primary and secondary coils simultaneously, and thus not taking part in energy transfer.


Disadvantages of Leakage Flux in Transformer

Some of the disadvantages of leakage flux in transformer are listed below:-
  1. Since leakage flux does not link primary and secondary windings simultaneously, they do not take part in energy transfer. As a result, the transformer capacity becomes less than expected.
  2. In addition to the magnetizing current drawn by the useful, the leakage flux will also drawn additional magnetizing current from the input source. Thus the total magnetizing current in the transformer is increased. 
  3. As the magnetizing current gets increased due to leakage flux, the transformer power factor gets reduced.
  4. Higher magnetizing current will also increase the total input current of the transformer.
  5. Higher input current will result in higher copper losses (I^2. R) in the transformer winding resistance.
  6. Higher copper losses will in turn reduce the efficiency and cause more heating and increase temperature rise of the transformer.
  7. In addition, higher current and poor power factor will cause increased amount of internal voltage drop in the transformer winding impedance causing poor regulation.
  8. The leakage flux may link with outer metallic parts also, such as tank, bolts, joints, and cause stray magnetic losses. These will reduce the transformer efficiency further.
  9. Increased amount of magnetizing current may cause saturation of the magnetic core. Saturation causes increase in Hysteresis and Eddy current losses and produces harmonics.
It is thus necessary to reduce the amount of flux leakage as much as possible.

Ideal Transformer (1-phase) Operation Under Load

 What is Ideal Transformer ? An ideal transformer is a transformer with the following assumptions: Permeability of transformer is infinite. Iron loss in the transformer core are zero. Resistance of transformer winding is zero. No magnetic leakage flux, so coefficient of coupling is  1 . Magnetization curve of transformer is linear. Operation of Ideal transformer under load Schematic diagram of an ideal, 1-phase transformer under load When a finite impedance load Z L   is connected across the secondary terminals of a 1-phase transformer as shown in above figure, the load current I 2   flows through the secondary winding and the load. load current I 2   is given by:- I 2  = V 2 / Z L How will MMFs Produce ? A voltage source V 1   is connected to the primary winding. Due to this voltage V 1  primary current I 1   flowing through N 1   number of turns in the primary winding produces an MMF  N 1 .I 1   which creates the flux Ⲫ in the core. This flux links with the secondary coil and induc

Compensating Winding

Compensating Winding The cross magnetizing armature reaction effect that causes concentration of flux under one pole tip is caused mainly by the conductors that lie under the pole are. When the machines are heavily loaded, the flux density at these tips become very high resulting in higher than normal induced voltage between concerned adjacent commutator segments. This may cause a spark over between adjacent commutator segments more so because these coils are physically close to the commutation zone where air temperature is high and favorable for spark over. This may lead to other segments also getting involved and resulting in fire over entire commutator segment. Also if load is rapidly fluctuating (e.g. rolling machine), L(di/dt) voltage of coils may became high enough to start a spark over between adjacent commutator segments. This phenomenon will start from the coil under the pole center and it would have maximum. This problem is more acute when load is decrea
