Ideal Transformer
Ideal transformers are the hypothetical transformers used for explanation purposes in electrical engineering. These transformers do not exist in real and they are just imaginary concepts. In terms of ideal transformers, it is said that:
Input power = Output Power
The form of transformer in which there is no loss of power is termed as ideal transformer. It has no core losses, copper losses, or any other losses in the transformer. The efficiency of the ideal transformers is supposed to be 100%.
Difference between Ideal Transformer and Practical Transformer
Transformers use the concept of electromagnetic induction to transmit electrical energy between two or more circuits. There are two types of transformers which are Ideal Transformer and Practical Transformer. We will discuss the operational differences between an ideal and practical transformer in this article.
