Question

What is the formula for the conductor dimensions in transformer?

(a) conductor dimensions = conductor width * conductor thickness + 0.5 mm

(b) conductor dimensions = conductor width / conductor thickness + 0.5 mm

(c) conductor dimensions = conductor width + conductor thickness + 0.5 mm

(d) conductor dimensions = conductor width – conductor thickness + 0.5 mm

I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

Question is taken from Overall Dimensions in division Design of Transformers of Design of Electrical Machines

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) conductor dimensions = conductor width * conductor thickness + 0.5 mm

The explanation: The width of the conductor is first calculated. Next, the thickness of the conductor is calculated. On obtaining these data the conductor dimensions can be obtained.
