Transformers Overview
• Power systems are characterized by many different
voltage levels, ranging from 765 kV down to 240/120
volts.
• Transformers are used to transfer power between
different voltage levels.
• The ability to inexpensively change voltage levels is a
key advantage of ac systems over dc systems.
• In this section we’ll development models for the
transformer and discuss various ways of connecting
three phase transformers.
3
Ideal Transformer
First we review the voltage/current relationships for an
ideal transformer
– no real power losses
– magnetic core has infinite permeability
– no leakage flux
We’ll define the “primary” side of the transformer as
the side that usually receives power from a line etc, and
the secondary as the side that usually delivers power to
a load etc:
– primary is usually the side with the higher voltage, but may
be the low voltage side on a generator step-up transformer.

Real Transformers
• Real transformers
– have losses
– have leakage flux
– have finite permeability of magnetic core
• Real power losses
– resistance in windings (I2
R)
– core losses due to eddy currents and hysteresis
9
Transformer Core losses
Eddy currents arise because of changing flux in core.
Eddy currents are reduced by laminating the core
Hysteresis losses are proportional to area of BH curve
and the frequency
These losses are reduced
by using material with a
“thin” BH curve

Calculation of Model Parameters
The parameters of the model are determined
based upon:
– nameplate data: gives the rated voltages and power
– open circuit test: rated voltage is applied to primary
with secondary open; measure the primary current and
losses (the test may also be done applying the rated
voltage to the secondary, calculating the values, then
referring the values back to the primary side).
– short circuit test: with secondary shorted, apply (lower
than rated) voltage to primary to get rated primary
current to flow; measure voltage and losses. 15
Transformer Example
•Example: A single phase, 100 MVA, 200/80 kV
transformer has the following test data:
–open circuit: 20 amps, with 10 kW losses
–short circuit: 30 kV, with 500 kW losses
•Determine the model parameters.

Residential Distribution
Transformers
Single phase transformers are commonly used in
residential distribution systems. Most distribution
systems are 4 wire, with a multi-grounded, common
neutral.
18
Per Unit Calculations
A key problem in analyzing power systems is the large
number of transformers.
– It would be very difficult to continually have to refer
impedances to the different sides of the transformers
This problem is avoided by a normalization of all
variables.
This normalization is known as per unit analysis.

19
Per Unit Conversion Procedure, 1
1. Pick a 1 VA base for the entire system, SB
2. Pick a voltage base for each different voltage level,
VB. Voltage bases are related by transformer turns
ratios. Voltages are line to neutral.
3. Calculate the impedance base, ZB= (VB)2
/SB
4. Calculate the current base, IB = VB/ZB
5. Convert actual values to per unit
Note, per unit conversion affects magnitudes, not
the angles. Also, per unit quantities no longer have
units (i.e., a voltage is 1.0 p.u., not 1 p.u. volts) 20
Per Unit Solution Procedure
1. Convert to per unit (p.u.) (many problems
are already in per unit)
2. Solve
3. Convert back to actual as necessary
21
Per Unit Example
Solve for the current, load voltage and load power
in the circuit shown below using per unit analysis
with an SB of 100 MVA, and voltage bases of
8 kV, 80 kV and 16 kV, respectively.

Three Phase Per Unit
1. Pick a 3 VA base for the entire system,
2. Pick a voltage base for each different voltage
level, VB,LL. Voltages are line to line.
3. Calculate the impedance base
Procedure is very similar to 1 except we use a 3
VA base, and use line to line voltage bases

•Solve for the current, load voltage and load power in
the previous circuit, assuming:
–a 3 power base of 300 MVA,
–and line to line voltage bases of 13.8 kV, 138 kV and 27.6
kV (square root of 3 larger than the 1 example voltages)
–the generator is Y-connected so its line to line voltage is
13.8 kV.
Convert to per unit
as before.
Note the system is
exactly the same!
