Calculating Current Through Compensation Winding in Cascade Voltage Transformer

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the current through the compensation winding (Ic) in a cascade voltage transformer composed of two identical units. The user initially calculated Ic as 0.5 A using the equations θ1 = θ2, θ1 = I1N1 + IcNc - I2N2, and θ2 = I1N1 - IcNc. However, feedback indicated that this calculation was incorrect, prompting a request for clarification on the error. The user also mentions the need for a diagram to better illustrate the problem.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cascade voltage transformers
  • Familiarity with electrical flow concepts, specifically the use of theta (θ)
  • Knowledge of winding ratios in transformers
  • Basic proficiency in circuit analysis and equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the principles of cascade voltage transformer operation
  • Study the relationship between secondary and compensation windings
  • Learn about electrical flow and its representation in transformer equations
  • Examine practical examples of transformer current calculations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, students studying power systems, and professionals involved in transformer design and analysis will benefit from this discussion.

Got cascade voltage transformer made from two completely identical units.
On secondary winding, load takes I2=1A
Number of compensation and secondary windings is equal.
I need to find current trough compensation winding Ic
.
θ1 = θ2
--> θ1 = I1N1 + IcNc - I2N2

--> θ2 = I1N1 - IcNc

--> I2N2 = 2IcNc

--> Nc = N2

--> Ic = I2 /2

--> Ic = 0.5 AI did it like this and get feedback that this is wrong without explanation. So, I would be grateful if someone can explain me what is wrong here. I can post scheme if needed.
Thanks in advance.

Can you post a diagram labelling things? And what is theta?
 
I found this is correct solution, so no need to torture you any moore.

*Theta is electrical flow. If you are interested, I'll sent you sheme.
