Formulas for Transformer Calculations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the challenges faced by an EET student struggling with transformer calculations due to inadequate teaching and confusing resources. The student seeks formulas for single and three-phase transformers to aid in understanding and completing a take-home test. They emphasize the desire to learn rather than cheat, expressing a need for reliable information to improve their academic performance. A specific website is mentioned as a bookmarked resource for assistance. The overall focus is on finding clear, structured formulas to enhance comprehension of transformer calculations.

I am an EET student. The professor I have is not very thorough in his examples and if you can't keep up with him or have x-ray vision to see through him to the board while he is working the problems then you just don't get the information needed. That said, I am currently trying to do a take home test that involves calculating values for transformers, with hardly any notes and trying to teach myself through the book...which by the way is as mixed up as the problems and notes that I do have. I was wondering if anybody knows where I can find formulas for doing just about any calculation on single and three-phase transformers. I'm not trying to cheat and don't want answers to my test, I am just trying to give myself a fighting chance at passing a class that I am currently failing miserably.

Good luck.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
