Discuss the transformer EMF equation.
Answer
The transformer EMF equation relates the induced voltage to the supply frequency, the maximum core flux, and the number of winding turns.
The Root Mean Square (RMS) value of the induced Electromotive Force (EMF) in a transformer winding is derived directly from Faraday's law of induction for a sinusoidal varying flux.
Where is the AC supply frequency in Hz, is the absolute maximum magnetic flux in Webers (which equals Maximum Flux Density Core Area ), and is the number of turns on the winding.
