Key Characteristics of an Ideal Transformer
- The primary and secondary windings are perfectly coupled through the magnetic core with no magnetic leakage and thus it is assumed as the perfect magnetic coupling.
- Inside the core it is assumed that there is no eddy current loss or no hysteresis loss.
- The core of the ideal transformers has infinite magnetic permeability.
- In an ideal transformer, the magnetizing current is assumed to be zero.
- The winding of the ideal transformer have no resistance which allow zero power loss.
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.
