TRANSFORMER ON NO-LOAD
A Transformer is on no-load, when its secondary winding is open
circuited i.e. I2 = 0. Under such a condition the primary input
current has to supply (i) iron loss in core (ii) Cu loss.
Now since primary winding is not a pure winding and has
some winding resistance, hence no load primary current I0 is not
at 90 behind V1 but lags it by an angel 0 < 90
Now, the primary current (I0) under no-load condition can be
split up into two components [see Fig. 4.12(b)].
(i)
IW = I0 cos 0
(ii)
Thus,
I = I0 sin 0
I0 I2W I2
IW = I0 cos 0
I = I0 sin 0
No load power input is given by
W0 = V1 I0 cos 0 W

Phasor Diagram
Since flux is common to both windings is chosen as
reference.
The self induced emf E1 lags by 90.
The phasor E2 is in phase with E1.
The magnetizing current I is in phase with .
The applied voltage V1 is drawn equal and opposite to E1.
The active component Iw is in phase with V1. The phase sum
of IW and I gives no load current I0.
The angle between V1 and I0 is marked as 0.
The phasor diagram is shown below.

TRANSFORMER ON LOAD
When transformer is on no-load (i.e. when its secondary
winding is open circulated and secondary current I2 is zero),
primary winding draws a very small current I0 and is the main
primary flux in the core
Transformer on load
When secondary winding is loaded, the secondary current I2
is set up. The magnitude and phase of I2 with respect to V2 is
determined by the characteristics of the load. The secondary
current set up its own flux 2, which is in opposition to main
primary flux . (Basically flux is due to mmf N2I2.) The
opposing secondary flux weakens the primary flux
momentarily. Hence, primary back emf E1 tends to be reduced
and for a moment, V1 becomes greater than E1. Therefore,
additional current flows through primary winding [see. Fig 4.13(b)]

The phasor diagram of a transformer on losad condition is
drawn with the help of the above expressions.
Steps for drawing the phasor diagram are as follows :
1) First draw V 2 and then I2 . Phase angle between I2 and V 2 will
depend on the type of load.
2) To V 2 , add resistive drop I2 R2 parallel to I2 and inductive drop
I2 X 2 leading I2 dI2 X 2 i by 90 such that
