is it primary current ?
2 to 5% of full load current
The ratio of the primary winding turns to the secondary winding turns. This governs voltage which is directly related to the current and load.AnswerA transformer increases or decreases voltage, notcurrent. The secondary current is determined by the load, and the secondary current determines the primary current. If there is no load, then there is no secondary current, and the primary current is mainly made up of the magnetising current.
a.) Io = no load current consists of 5% of the full-load primary current. b.) Iom = magnetising current/component responsible for setting up the magnetising flux in the core. c.) Iol = Ic = power loss component responsible for supplying the core losses and the windings losses.
No load current depends on the design of the transformer, and what voltage it is energized at. It will typically be below 1% of full load, and can be significantly below 1% for utility sized transformers.
connect 3 - phase supply to transformer primary winding.....keep transformer secondary winding open..... apply 3-phase voltage i.e.400v ac, and measure the amount of current flowing in each phase of the transformer primary winding...this current is the transformer magnetising current..... we can keep multimeters in series with the source....so we can measure directly the current readings.....(keep multimeters in current mode, and generally magnetising current will come in terms of milli amps for 400 v )
No load current, in a transformer for example, is the current necessary for exciting the transformer. If you wish to keep it energized, and you need to keep it energized at full voltage, there is nothing you can do to reduce this other than replace the transformer with one that has lower no load current. If you are referring to a different piece of equipment, you may need to specify what you are meaning by "no load current".
A transformer's 'no load' current is not 'high'. On the contrary, it is zero!'No load' means that there is nothing connected to the secondary (output) of the transformer -i.e. it is an open circuit. So a transformer's secondary 'no load' current is zero! The primary current still has to provide a magnetising current, but that current will be very small.Don't forget, a 'light load' means little current is drawn, so the load must have a high resistance; a 'heavy load' means lots of current is drawn, so the load must have a low resistance.
load
It is a transformer with No load attach to it.
The magnetizing current of a transformer, such as a 2.5 MVA transformer, typically ranges from 2% to 5% of the full-load current. To calculate the magnetizing current, you first need to determine the full-load current using the formula: ( I_{full-load} = \frac{S}{\sqrt{3} \times V} ), where ( S ) is the apparent power (2.5 MVA) and ( V ) is the line voltage. Assuming a common line voltage (like 11 kV), the magnetizing current would then be roughly between 50 A to 125 A, depending on the specific transformer design and characteristics.
A: a transformer will follow the rule of input output ratio with no load. As soon as a load is applied there will be changes in the ratio
The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.
