This document discusses transformer action and how to vary the secondary voltage. It contains the following key points:
1) The flux in a transformer is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to number of turns and frequency, as shown in Equation 1.
2) Equation 2 shows that the voltage per turn ratio is constant throughout a transformer, regardless of whether it is on the primary or secondary winding.
3) There are two options to vary the secondary voltage: change the number of turns on the primary winding or change the number of turns on the secondary winding. Increasing the secondary turns or decreasing the primary turns increases the secondary voltage.

CFVV vs VFVV
Transformer action Transformer equation V= 4.44 Ø f N Eqn -1 • Where E= Induced voltage • Ø = Max flux. • F= frequency • N = number of turns
From eqn-1: Ø = V/4.44 f N
This means that flux is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to number of turns and frequency. Transformer Action
Also N1/N2 = V1/V2 Eqn-2
From this equation it can be equated that V1/N1 equals V2/N2. This means that the voltage per turn in a transformer remains same throughout irrespective of primary or secondary winding. Voltage changing In order to vary the secondary voltage of transformer we have two options a) Change the number of turns of primary b) Change the number of turns of secondary To increase the voltage on the secondary we have to either increase the no of turns on secondary side or decrease the number of turns on primary side. Changing the turns on primary side On Load Tap Changer
When the turns are changed on primary side, due to
variation of incoming voltage on primary side, the control is called constant flux variable voltage control. Because under this condition, due to decrease in incoming voltage, the number of turns are on primary side are decreased in order to increase the secondary voltage. So in this case, (Ø = V/4.44 f N) the ratio of V/N remains constant . Changing the turns on Secondary side Off Load Tap Changer When the turns are changed on secondary side, due to variation of incoming voltage on primary side, the control is called variable flux variable voltage control. Because under this condition, due to decrease in incoming voltage, the number of turns are on Secondary side are increased in order to increase the secondary voltage. So in this case, (Ø = V/4.44 f N) the ratio of V/N does not remain constant . Thank you
