Experimental-simulation analysis for transformer single phase in resistive load condition

Abstract

Transformer is one of main components in electrical power system which role to increase or reduce voltage. Characteristics of transformer would be vital to ensure the voltage is fully transferred. This paper is presenting the study of transformer characteristics by using different approaches in experimental and simulation. This study focus on the output voltage, output current, the real power, the reactive power, the voltage regulations and efficiency resulting form different type of transformer in single phase system. Type of transformer been using in this experiment are the shell type, the toroidal type and the cut core type transformer in the resistive load condition. The analysed data are obtained from experiments as well as simulated model based on PSPICE Software. The result found that the shell type, the toroidal type and the cut-core transformer have produced 92%, 93% and 97% efficiency respectively in the resistive load condition.
