Ideal vs. Practical Transformer: Understanding the Key Differences

Click on the above link to check out the most powerful course for mastering the concepts of Electrical Machines required for GATE, ESE etc.

Transformers are fundamental devices used in electrical power systems to transfer energy between circuits at different voltage levels. While ideal transformers are often used as a theoretical concept, practical transformers are the ones we encounter in real-world applications.

In this informative video, Dr. Mudita Mam will dissect the characteristics and behaviors of both ideal and practical transformers, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of their key differences.

An ideal transformer is a theoretical construct that assumes perfect efficiency, no losses, and precise voltage/current ratios. We will explore the ideal transformer model and discuss its simplified representation in circuit diagrams. Understanding the ideal transformer concept will lay the foundation for comprehending the deviations and limitations of practical transformers.

Unlike ideal transformers, practical transformers have inherent losses, including core losses, winding resistance, and leakage inductance. These losses lead to variations in efficiency, voltage regulation, and power factor. We will explore these losses in detail and examine their impact on the performance of practical transformers in real-world scenarios.
