Objectives of this experiment: 1. To investigate the characteristics of a transformer. 2. How a transformer is really not ideal, RS efficiency is low and AC resistance is high. 3. To show that AC resistance of the windings acts like series- dropping resistance. 4. The operation of a step-up and step-down transformer and relationship with turns-ratio, when the secondary is not loaded and when the secondary is loaded. 5. How using only one half of the tapped winding doubles turns-ratio. 6. To demonstrate how loading the secondary winding increases the current in the primary of the transformer. 7. To demonstrate the principles of an AUTOTRANSFORMER. Built in power supply: (0-6)V AC, (0-12) VAC Input Supply: 230 VAC/50Hz mains operated. Dimension: 27cms x 17cms x 10cms. Weight: 500gms |
