    A transformer converts alternating current (AC) voltage to a different voltage through electromagnetic induction. It has a primary coil connected to an AC input and a secondary coil connected to the output. The turn ratio between the coils determines whether the transformer steps up or steps down the voltage. Rectifiers convert the AC output to direct current (DC) by allowing current to flow in only one direction. A transformer rectifier unit combines these components to provide regulated DC power from an AC source.

    Lesson 23: Power Conversion


    Transformer Principles
    • Steps up or steps down
    AC voltage only.
    • Works via
    electromagnetic
    inductance.
    • Primary and secondary
    coils wound around a
    soft iron core
    • Enhances the
    electromagnetic field
    Step Up Transformer
    • Secondary has more turns than primary

    Primary Higher output


    Coil voltage
    Step Down Transformer
    • Secondary has fewer turns than primary

    Transformer Operation
    • Primary coil connected to AC input voltage.
    • Secondary coil connected to AC output.
    • Changing magnetic field interacts with both
    coils.
    Transformer Step-up/ Down
    • Secondary coil voltage proportional to coil
    turn ratio.
    • Step-down transformer.
    • Secondary has fewer turns
    • Step-up transformer.
    • Secondary has more turns
    Rectifiers
    • Diodes used sequentially
    • Standard diode acts like a one way valve

    Two way above


    certain voltage
    Transformer Rectifier Unit
    • Converts AC to DC at different voltages.
    • Typically 115/200 V Three Phase AC to
    28V DC
    • Abbreviated to ‘TRU”
    AC to DC Rectifier
    • Transformer Rectifier Unit
    • Transformer and rectifier is included in the same
    unit(TRU)
    • Reduces and rectifies the 115 v 400 Hz AC to a DC
    Voltage of 14 V or 28 V
    • Reverse current protection is not required due to diodes
    which allows one direction flow only.
    Static Inverter
    • Converts DC voltage to AC.
    • 28V DC typically inverted to single phase
    115V 400Hz.
    • electronic solid state, no moving part,
    modern inverter.
    DC to AC - Inverters
    • Generally used in light aeroplanes
    • Still needed for large aeroplanes if all generators
    fail. ( most common need is 26 V AC instead of 115
    V AC)
    •.
    ROTARY INVERTER
    • Rotary Inverter – used in older aircraft, contains a DC
    motor which drives an AC generator – frequency
    control is required(400 Hz)
    STATIC INVERTER
    Static Inverter – uses semiconductor to create the required
    waveform and support the required voltage and current.
    No rotating parts
    Auto - Transformer
    • No electrical isolation between primary and
    secondary windings ( movable brush)
    • Amount of winding across which the output is
    taken from can be varied, thus varying the
    output voltage ( called as variac)
    • Often used for light dimmers
    Current Transformer
    • A transformer with only secondary winding can be used to
    sense whether current is flowing through the conductor. The
    conductor will then act as the primary winding. It is used for
    sensing current.
    • If there is an AC current flowing in the conductor, varying
    magnetic field around it will induce a voltage in the current
    transformer.
    • Often used for ammeters without having to connect an
    ammeter in series with the load.
