Control Transformer Design Calculations

The document describes the design calculations for a control transformer with the following specifications: secondary voltage of 18V, secondary current of 0.3A, and a turns ratio of 1. Based on these specs, the document calculates various transformer parameters such as primary and secondary voltages, currents, turns, wire gauges, core area, window area and selects a suitable core. It then summarizes the final designed control transformer with a tongue width of 1.905cm, window area of 18.969cm2, and a core number of 23.

  • Control Transformer Calculations

he given details are as follows: Sec.

voltage(Vs) = 18V
Sec current(Is) = 0.3A
Turns per ratio (n2/n1) = 1
Now we have to calculations as follows: [Link]-Amps(SVA) = Vs * Is = 18 * 0.3 = 5.4VA
[Link]-Amps(PVA) = SVA / 0.9 = 5.4 / 0.9 = 6VA
Prim. Voltage (Vp) = V2 / (n2/n1) = 18/1 = 18V
Prim. current (Ip) = PVA/Vp = 6 / 18 = 0.333A
Core Area(CA) = 1.15 * sqrt(PVA) = 1.15 * sqrt(6) =
2.822 cm
Cross core area(GCA) = CA * 1.1 = 2.822 * 1.1 =
3.132 cm
Turns per volt(Tpv) = 1 / (4.44 * 10-4 * CA
*frequency * Flux density) = 1 / (4.44 * 10-4 * 2.822
* 50 *1) = 15.963 turns per volt
Prim. Turns(N1) = Tpv * Vp = 15.963 * 18 =
287.337 turns

[Link](N2) = Tpv * Vs * 1.03 = 15.963 * 60 *


1.03 = 295.957 turns
Tongue width(TW) = Sqrt*(GCA) = sqrt * (3.132) =
1.770 cm
We are choosing the current density as 200A/cm, but the
current density in the wire table is given for 200A/cm,
then
Primary current search value = Ip / (current
density/200) = 0.333 / (200/200) = 0.333A
Secondary current search value = Is / (current
density/200) = 0.3 / (200/200) = 0.3A
For these values of primary and secondary currents we
choose the corresponding SWG and Turns per Sq. cm
from the wire table.
SWG1=26
SWG2=27
Turn per Sq. cm of primary = 415 turns
Sq. cm of secondary = 504 turns

Turns per

Primary area(pa) = n1 / turns per sqcm(primary) =


287.337 / 415 = 0.692 cm

Secondary area(sa) = n2 / turns per sqcm(secondary)


= 295.957 / 504 = 0.587 cm
Total area(at) = pa + sa = 0.692 + 0.587 = 1.280 cm
Window area (Wa) = total area * 1.3 = 1.280 * 1.3 =
1.663 cm
For the above calculated value of tongue width, we
choose core number and window area from the core table
ensuring that the window area chosen is greater than or
equal to the Gross core area. If this condition is not
satisfied we go for a higher tongue width ensuring the
same condition with a corresponding decrease in the stack
height so as to maintain approximately constant gross
core area.
Thus we get available tongue width (Twavail) and
window area ((avail)(aWa)) from the core table
So tongue width available (atw) = 1.905cm
Window area available (awa) = 18.969 cm
Core number = 23
Stack Height = gca / atw = 3.132 / 1.905 = 1.905cm
Hence the control transformer is designed.
