Transformers Sample Assignment

2. Construct the transformer circuit in MultiSIM and complete the table in part 2 with the measured values of Vs and Is for each value of R_L. Use the Agilent Digital Multi-meter to take the measurements and capture a screen shot of each measurement.

3. Discuss the following:

• Describe the relationship of R_Lon the secondary voltage.

The secondary voltage equals RL times Is.

1. Describe the relationship of R_Lon the secondary current.

   The secondary current equals secondary voltage divided by RL

2. How do the calculated values compare to the measured values?

   Yes, although I can get a 0A when resistor equals 0 but when measuring I get –r- or overload reading.  Np/Ns = Vp/Vs.

3. How would you go about calculating the transformer power efficiency?

   Efficiency = (Vs*Is)/(Vp*Ip)

4. How would you go about measuring the transformer power efficiency?

   Put 2 wattmeter on both ends of the transformer (on the primary and on the secondary). Divide the output of power of primary by the input power of the secondary.

5. Determine the transformer power efficiency for the circuit in MultiSIM. Include a calculation and a measured value.

   Efficiency = (Vs*Is)/(Vp*Ip)= (5.99*0.599)/(120*0.030) = (3.58/3.60)

   = 99.44% 

Include all calculations, screenshots of measurements, the table results of part 2 and the answers to part 4 in a word processing document and submit as EE115W4LabYourGID.docx, or an equivalent word processing file extension.
