TRODUCTO Determinatin f transfrmer leakage reactance using magnetic cres has lng been an area f interest t engineers invlve in the esign f pwer an istributin transfrmers. This is require fr preicting the perfrmance f transfrmers befre actual assembly f the transfrmers. A meth has been presente fr estimating the leakage reactance by flu tube in rer t be inclue in an electric circuit mel f transfrmer []. Cmputer-base numerical slutin techniques using finite elements analysis, bunary element meth an bunary-integral meth are accurate an frm an imprtant part f the esign prceures. Hwever, they require rather elabrate cmputer resurces an a smewhat lengthy setup befre a slutin can be btaine.

An emphasis is n the evelpment f a simple meth t characterize the leakage reactance f the transfrmers. Leakage reactance calculatins play an imprtant rle in esigning gemetry f transfrmers. The esign parameters may be varie as such that the require shrt circuit impeance is etermine. A D representatin prves t be satisfactry in etermining the leakage reactance. Final epressins are evelpe n a per-unit-flength basis fr the thir imensin. Certain assumptins have been mae in this calculatin. En effects intruce by the terminatins in D cnfiguratins are nt evaluate here. There are ifferent techniques fr the leakage reactance evaluatin in transfrmers. The mst cmmn technique is the use f the flu leakage elements an estimatin f the flu in ifferent parts f the transfrmer [,7-]. The images technique can als be use. The base f this meth is cnsiering the image f every turn f the wining where the magnetic ptential vectr [,] is emplye t cmpute the mutual an leakage inuctances. Althugh the technique is effective, the cmputatin result epens n the current f the image cnuctr [].

The leakage flu in the space f tw winings is ivie equally between them. The leakage flu fr each wining fr a tw-wining transfrmer, base n the abve assumptins is []: s λ = µ 0 L ( + ) / mt L C Using the fllwing equatin: X = π fλ an reflecting leakage reactance between HV winings t the primary sie yiels: X=X +( / ) X () Equatin will be as fllws: X s = πfµ (L mt ( + ) + L mt L c s ( + )) () () (4) f it is assume that L mt = L mt (meaning that the length f each turn f HV an LV winings are equal).

The current f image cnuctr has a value ifferent frm the real cnuctr an it shul be ajuste fr each image cnuctr.
