Concept:
Hysteresis losses: These are due to the reversal of magnetization in the transformer core whenever it is subjected to alternating nature of magnetizing force.
\({W_h} = \eta B_{max}^xfv\)
\({B_{max}} \propto \frac{V}{f}\)
Where
x is the Steinmetz constant
Bm = maximum flux density
f = frequency of magnetization or supply frequency
v = volume of the core
At a constant V/f ratio, hysteresis losses are directly proportional to the frequency.
Wh ∝ f
Eddy current losses: Eddy current loss in the transformer is I2R loss present in the core due to the production of eddy current.
\({W_e} = K{f^2}B_m^2{t^2}V\)
\({B_{max}} \propto \frac{V}{f}\)
Where,
K - coefficient of eddy current. Its value depends upon the nature of magnetic material
Bm - Maximum value of flux density in Wb/m2
t - Thickness of lamination in meters
f - Frequency of reversal of the magnetic field in Hz
V - Volume of magnetic material in m3
At a constant V/f ratio, eddy current losses are directly proportional to the square of the frequency.
We ∝ f2
Iron losses or core losses or constant losses are the sum of both hysteresis and eddy current losses.
Wi = Wh + We
At constant V/f ratio, Wi = Af + Bf2
Explanation:
For V = 230 V and F = 50 Hz, we have core loss = 1050 W or Iron loss + Hysteresis loss = 1050 W
Since, iron loss and hysteresis loss are given by Iron loss \(= {P_i}; = {k_i};{V^2}\) and Hysteresis loss \(= ;{P_H} = {K_H};{V^{1.6}};{f^{ - 0.6}}\)
Substituting it in equation (i) we get \({K_i}{\left( {230} \right)^2} + {K_H}\frac{{{{\left( {230} \right)}^{1.6}}}}{{{{\left( {50} \right)}^{0.6}}}} = 1050\) or
\({K_i}\left( {52900} \right) + {K_H}\left( {574.62} \right) = 1050\)
Again for \(V; = ;138;V\) and \(f; = ;30;Hz\), we have
Core loss = 500 W or Iron loss + Hysteresis loss = 500 W
or \({K_P}{\left( {138} \right)^2} + {K_H}\frac{{{{\left( {138} \right)}^{1.6}}}}{{{{\left( {30} \right)}^{0.6}}}} = 500\) or KP (19044) + KH (344.77) = 500
Solving equations (i) and (ii), we get
\({K_P}; = ;0.01027;;;;{K_H}; = ;0.855\)
And, For 230 V, 50Hz we have
Hysteresis loss = \({K_H};{V^{1.6}};{f^{ - 0.6}}\) \(= 0.855 \times {\left( {230} \right)^{1.6}} \times {\left( {50} \right)^{ - 0.6}}; = ;508.53;W\)
Hence, the eddy loss is Eddy loss = \({K_{I{V^2}}} = {\text{}}0.01024 \times 529000 = 541.69;W\)
