Full load condition of real transformer

AI Thread Summary
The full load condition of a transformer is characterized by the maximum load it can handle without overheating or exceeding its rated specifications. In this context, the primary voltage (Vp) and secondary voltage (Vs) must be carefully considered, especially when calculating the equivalent circuit parameters. When the secondary current has a lagging power factor of 0.8, the primary voltage may exceed 2300 V under full load conditions due to voltage drops across the equivalent resistance and reactance. The transformation ratios and equivalent circuit parameters should be adjusted accordingly, using the correct formulas for referred secondary values. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for accurate transformer operation and performance analysis.

What is the full load condition of a transformer.

Then in reference to the equation:

Vp = aVs + Req*Ip + jXeq*Ip (the very common complex equation of a simple equivalent circuit )

Should I use Vs= 230 V or Vp = 2300 V in full load load condition or will the magnitude of the primary voltage be greater than 2300 V in full load condition , if it is given that the secondary current is 0.8 power factor(PF) lagging.
if so why??

Usually we take VS, Rp, Xp but R’s, X’s and V’L that means the secondary parameters referred to primary. R’s=Rs*np/ns; X’s=Xs*np/ns V’L=VL*np/ns If np/ns=Ep/Es~ Vprated/Vsrated then V’L=VL*Vprated/Vsrated[Vsrated at no-load].
The load p.f. it is cos(fi) –fi the angle between VL and Iload.
 
Correction:
R's=Rs*np^2/ns^2; X's=Xs*np^2/ns^2
 
If we neglect the upstream voltage drop only the secondary voltage decreases with the load.
 
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...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
