Electromagnetic analysis of transformer using Solidworks

Transformers have been one of the greatest inventions in the electrical industry. It helps in transferring energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. Single phase transformers find applications in domestic appliances because of its simplicity and less cost. They can be used as voltage regulators in television set, as step up and step down transformers in inverters and mobile chargers, respectively. Three phase transformers are used in generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Electromagnetic analysis of the simulated transformer helps in optimizing the transformer design. In this paper, single phase transformer of rating 67kVA 6600/440 V is designed and modeled using Solidworks software. Electromagnetic analysis of the model with normal working condition is done using Electro Magnetics Simulation (EMS) module of the software. AC magnetic study with 50Hz frequency is selected. Parameters like current density, field intensity, and loss density are analyzed. It is observed that results obtained from simulation closely matches with the theoretical values.
