BASIC ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Unit 3 & 4 Summary | Exam Prep Guide

🚀 QUICK START: Transformers are like gears for electricity.

Unit 3: Magnetic Circuits & Transformers

A Transformer transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through magnetic
induction without changing frequency.

The EMF Equation: Every transformer numerical starts here.

E = 4.44 ⋅ f ⋅ N ⋅ Φm

f = Frequency (Hz), N = Number of turns, Φm = Maximum flux in core.

Ideal vs. Practical Transformer (PYQ Favorite)

Ideal Practical

No losses (Efficiency = 100%) Iron & Copper losses occur

Infinite permeability Finite permeability (Magnetizing current needed)

Zero winding resistance Has resistance (causes voltage drop)

🔢 MATH TIME: Let's solve a Short Circuit (SC) Test problem.

Numerical Drill: Transformer Tests

Question: In a Short Circuit test, Vsc = 60V, Isc = 10A, and Psc = 300W. Find Rsc
and Xsc.
Step 1: Calculate Total Impedance (Z)

Zsc = Vsc / Isc = 60 / 10 = 6 Ω

Step 2: Calculate Resistance (R) from Power

Psc = Isc² ⋅ Rsc → 300 = 10² ⋅ Rsc → Rsc = 3 Ω

Step 3: Calculate Reactance (X) using Pythagoras

Xsc = √(Zsc² - Rsc²) = √(36 - 9) = √27 ≈ 5.19 Ω

⚙️ MACHINES: Motors consume, Generators produce.

Unit 4: DC & AC Machines

1. DC Generator EMF Equation

This calculates how much voltage a spinning generator makes:

Eg = (Φ ⋅ Z ⋅ N ⋅ P) / (60 ⋅ A)

Φ: Flux/pole | Z: Total conductors | N: Speed (RPM) | P: Poles | A: Parallel paths (A=P for Lap, A=2 for Wave)

2. 3-Phase Induction Motor (IM)

The Slip (s) is the most important concept. It's the difference between the field speed and
rotor speed.

Synchronous Speed: Ns = (120 ⋅ f) / P


Slip: s = (Ns - Nr) / Ns

Focus on these formulas for CT-II. You've got this!
