Q

The applied voltage in a transformer is increased by 50%
and frequency is reduced by 50%. The maximum core flux
density will become______.

A. Same
B. 1.5 times
C. 3 times
D. 5 times

A

3 times

The maximum core flux density in a transformer is directly proportional to the V/f ratio.

Where V is the supply voltage and

f is the supply frequency

Calculation:

Given that, the applied voltage of a certain transformer is increased by 50% while the frequency is reduced by 50%.

V2 = 1.5 V1 and f2 = 0.5f1

Therefore, the V/f ratio will becomes three times and hence the maximum flux density will also become three times
