Parallel transformers - checking my models

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling a parallel transformer circuit with coupled inductors and verifying the equations used. The user presents several equations related to mutual inductance, reluctance, and magnetic flux, seeking confirmation on their correctness and completeness. They express frustration over not receiving adequate help from tutors, highlighting a lack of clarity in deriving the relationship between currents I1 and I2 without derivatives. The user is uncertain if they have enough equations to solve the model and is looking for guidance on any missing equations. The conversation emphasizes the challenges of accurately modeling transformer circuits and the need for precise relationships between variables.

So on the left is a circuit which shows a voltage source and 2 coupled inductors in a parallel magnetic circuit shown on the right (transformer with a parallel core).
Can someone tell me if I am modelling it correctly with the following equations?
Rc1,Rc2,Rc3 are the reluctance of each branch of the transformer core
M = mutual inductance between the coils.
φ1 and φ2 are the flux on left loop and right loop of the magnetic circuit.
φ10 and φ20 are the total flux from L1 and L2 alone
$$M=k\sqrt{L1*L2}\\k=\frac{\phi_{12}}{\phi{1_0}}=\frac{\phi_{21}}{\phi{2_0}}$$

Here are the equations I came up with :

$$
MI_2'+L_1I_1'+R_1I_1+V_0cos(wt)=0\\
MI_1'+L_2I_2'+R_2I_2=0\\
\phi_1R_{c1}+R_{c2}(\phi_1-\phi_2)=N1I1\\
\phi_2R_{c3}+R_{c2}(\phi2-\phi1)+N1I1-N2I2=0\\$$
so the total flux through path 2 (φ2)- the total flux produced by the 2nd inductor (φ20)= φ12

$$L_2I_2=N2\phi2_0\\k=\frac{\phi_{12}}{\phi1_0} \hspace{10 mm}\phi_{12}=\phi_2-L_2\frac{I_2}{N2}\\
k=\frac{(N2\phi_2-L_2I_2)N1}{N2L_1I_1}$$

Is this enough equations to solve... or am I missing an equation? If so... what equation am I missing? I think there needs to be something relating I2 to I1 without the derivatives... ?

Tried to pay a tutor to answer but they said I don't have to pay because their answer might be wrong -_-
 
This man isn't serious, he got his answer, never tried to pay the tutor...

I tried to pay for an answer, meaning If I got an answer for the current I1, I2. But after like 48 hours I went through like 5 people and did not get the answer? I pretty much got my own work shown back to me with no current.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
