Is Flux in Primary Winding always greater than the Secondary winding in Transformer?
Ans:
Flux in Primary and Secondary Winding is always equal.
In ideal case, the flux produced in Primary winding will pass through the secondary winding, so generated flux in primary winding will be same as in secondary winding.
Here is a very simple example to explain my answer.
Suppose,
              A 50Hz Single phase Transformer has 525 Primary turns and 70 Secondary Turns. If the primary is connected to 3300 Volts supply, Find the secondary Voltage. If neglecting losses, What is the primary current when the secondary current is 250 Amperes? Also Prove that the Flux produced in Both Primary and Secondary Winding is Same.?
Solution:
Given Data;
Primary Number of Turns N1 = 524,
Secondary Number of Turns N2 = 70
Primary Input Voltage V1= 3300 Volts.
Secondary Current I2= 250 A.
Find/Calculate?
Secondary Voltage V2 =?
Primary Current I1=?
Φm 1 = Φm2
We Know that,
N2/N1 = V2/V1====> V2 = (N2 x V1)/N1
Putting the Values
V2= (70 x 3300)/525 = 440 Volts Ans.
Now if Neglecting Losses,
V1I1= V2I2 ====> I1/I2 = V2/ V1 …..Or…..I1 = (V2 x I2) / V1
Putting the Values,
I1= 440 x 250/3300 = 33.3 Amp Ans.
Now turn around the Transformer equation.
E1= 4.44 f N1 φm1
φm1= E1 / 4.44 f N1
Putting the Values
Φm 1 = 3300 / (4.44 x 50 x 525) = 0.0283 Weber’s
Φm 1 = 28.3mWeber’s = Flux in Primary Windings
Same is on the other side,
E2= 4.44 f N2 φm2
Φm2= E2 / 4.44 f N2
Putting the values,
Φm2 = 440 / (4.44 x 50 x 70) = 0.0283 Weber’s
Φm2 = 28.3mWeber’s = Flux in secondary Windings
So You can see the flux (Φm) produced in Both Primary and Secondary Winding is same.
