4. Understand equivalent circuit of transformer, magnetic leakage and leakage reactance of transformer.
4.5. Explain magnetic leakage of transformer.
Magnetic leakage can be defined as the passage of magnetic flux outside the path along which it can do useful work. The passage of useful and leakage magnetic flux.
Magnetic leakage flux is reduced by carefully selection of grain-oriented silicon steel core material, a large core structure that provides a good closed-loop path for the magnetic field, and using an operating point that's significantly below core saturation.
How is magnetic leakage reduced?
Ans: Magnetic leakage is reduced to a minimum by sectionalizing and interleaving the primary and secondary...
