The discussion centers on the relationship between flux density and weight per kVA in transformers. Cold-rolled steel with high silicon content allows for higher operating flux densities, which in turn reduces the weight per kVA. This is due to the ability to run transformers at higher currents without increasing losses. Understanding transformer core saturation is essential for grasping this concept.
PREREQUISITESElectrical engineers, transformer designers, and students studying power systems will benefit from this discussion, particularly those interested in optimizing transformer performance and weight efficiency.
Higher flux density means you can run the transformer at higher currents. Higher current = higher kVAswayam007 said:Cold-roiled steel of high silicon content enables the designer to use higher operating flux densities ...
