Lab - 7: The Buck-Boost Transformer Analysis: Objectives

This document discusses the analysis of buck and boost transformers using MATLAB. It describes how buck transformers can lower voltages for applications requiring 12, 16, 24, 32 or 48 volts. Boost transformers can raise voltages along power lines. The experiment involves creating single and three phase buck and boost transformer circuits in Simulink, setting voltage source and transformer parameters, running simulations, and analyzing output voltages. The learning outcomes are to understand how buck and boost transformers work, how to boost or lower voltages, and the difference between the two types of transformers.

Lab - 7: The Buck-Boost Transformer Analysis

Objectives:
Understanding working of Buck and Boost Transformer in single and three phase.
Formation of circuits with MATLAB
Analysis of the circuit using MATLAB

Software use:
MATLAB version 2013

Theory:
The buck Transformer:
Buck transformers can be used to power low voltage circuits including control, lighting
circuits, or applications that require 12, 16, 24, 32 or 48 volts, consistent with the design's
secondaries. The transformer is connected as an isolating transformer.
Transformers change only voltage and current, not frequency. Equipment that
uses synchronous motorswill operate at a different speed if operated at other than the design
frequency. Some equipment is marked on its nameplate to run at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, and
would need only the voltage adjusted with a buckboost transformer to produce the rated output
voltage. A rating of 10% buck will yield the result of 209 V AC if the actual incoming supplied
voltage is 230 V AC.

The Booster Transformer:


Booster transformer is one which is often used towards the end of a power line to raise the
voltage to the desired value. It is used for controlling the voltage of a feeder at a point far away
from the main transformer. Boost transformer rated at 10% boost will raise a supplied voltage of
208 V AC to 229 V AC

The secondary of the booster transformer is connected in series with the line, and its primary is
supplied from the secondary of the regulating transformer. The output winding of the regulating
transformer is so connected to the primary of the booster transformer that the voltage injected in
the line VB is in phase with the supply VS. By changing taps on the regulating transformer, the
magnitude of VB can be changed and thus feeder voltage VF can be regulated.

The advantage of the above system is that the regulating equipment is independent of the
main transformer so that a failure in the former will not throw the latter out of service. Booster
transformer is used in railways for eliminating the flow of stray current. The stray current
disturbs the communication system and also damage the electronic devices of the trains.
