Before talking about the Excitation test,

65
00:00:31,016 --> 00:00:41,383
it is necessary to review some important and useful subjects related to analyzing behavior of transformers including equivalent circuit and some electric and electromagnetic analyses.

66
00:00:41,408 --> 00:00:44,601
You can see a transformer equivalent circuit in the figure.

67
00:00:44,626 --> 00:00:54,223
In this circuit, “Rp” and “Rs” refer to the primary and secondary coils resistance respectively which occur as heat loss and increase in the temperature of the coil.

68
00:00:54,248 --> 00:01:02,158
“XP” and “XS”, on the other hand, indicate a part of the flux whose path is through air and is known as “leakage Flux”.

69
00:01:02,183 --> 00:01:12,104
In the parallel branch, “Rc” is the indicator of core loss including eddy current and Hysteresis losses which occur as increase in the temperature of the core.

70
00:01:12,136 --> 00:01:19,547
The reason for parallelism of “Rc” is that the losses caused by it are in accordance with the square of the input voltage.

71
00:01:19,572 --> 00:01:25,613
“Xm” indicates magnetizing inductance of the wires wrapped around the core of the transformer.

72
00:01:26,574 --> 00:01:30,956
Transformer Loading and Its Effect on Transformer Saturation

73
00:01:31,166 --> 00:01:36,341
When load is drawn from the transformer, this power causes the secondary current to increase.

74
00:01:36,366 --> 00:01:41,927
When the secondary current increases, the flux caused by the secondary coil increases as well.

75
00:01:42,197 --> 00:01:50,243
Also, after the secondary current increases, the primary current increases as well which leads to an increase in the flux of the primary side.

76
00:01:50,346 --> 00:01:57,657
But since the changes in the secondary side current are bigger, the flux of the secondary side will be more than the primary side.

77
00:01:57,776 --> 00:02:05,928
Because of the influence of the opposite side of these two in the equivalent flux of the transformer core, the flux of the transformer decreases.

78
00:02:05,978 --> 00:02:12,917
As a result, while the load drawn from the terminals of the power transformer increases, the core recedes from the saturation area.

79
00:02:12,942 --> 00:02:21,181
Therefore, in full-load it is possible to use a small core for the transformer, but since transformer is not always used in nominal load,

80
00:02:21,206 --> 00:02:26,908
by reducing the core, the decrease in the load, leads to the saturation of transformer.

81
00:02:26,933 --> 00:02:36,553
So to avoid transformer saturation in light load and change the waveform from sine wave, it is necessary to extend the transformer core.

106
00:02:39,141 --> 00:02:39,541
Saturation Curve of “CT”

107
00:02:39,566 --> 00:02:48,495
As mentioned before, the power transformer recedes from saturation by increasing the current whereas CT gets closer to the saturation area.

108
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:58,873
The reason for this is related to the voltage of parallel branch where, in the power transformer by increasing the current, voltage of the parallel branch decrease.

109
00:03:01,286 --> 00:03:09,822
But in “CT”, by increasing the current, the voltage of the parallel branch in the secondary side increases and the “CT” saturates.

110
00:03:09,847 --> 00:03:21,220
“CT” saturation in a power system is caused by increase in the primary current because of occurrence of a fault which disables the “CT” to move the fault current to the secondary with the correct ratio.

111
00:03:21,332 --> 00:03:28,079
Since the saturation point of “CT” is related to voltage and parallel branch current, while doing this test,

112
00:03:28,190 --> 00:03:34,029
the secondary voltage increases and the point where by increasing the voltage by 10 percent,

113
00:03:34,172 --> 00:03:38,810
the drawn current increases by 50 percent is considered as the saturation point.

114
00:03:38,835 --> 00:03:44,404
In future videos the ways to enter the values and do the test for different “CT”s will be provided.
