Analysis of effect of core material on the performance of single phase transformer using FEM

Abstract

The remark able progress of power systems set liability on the transformer engineering to sources table and economical transformers. Transformer is a complex three dimensional structures built of numerous modules such as core, windings, isolation, chamber, and several other equipments. There are many transformers available with different type of magnetic materials for core. But the Amorphous Magnetic material changes the whole scenario of the market. In this paper E-Core Transformer Finite Element model is simulated using FEM based software for different magnetic materials for core to find the losses of the transformer with same dimensions and supply conditions. The comparative analysis was conducted for different electromagnetic characteristics such as magnetic flux density, current density, magnetic vector potential etc.
