Ideal Transformer

To start off lets review the Ideal Transformer model with this illustration. Ideal Transformer.jpg

From this and using the fact that in an Ideal Transformer power input is equal to power output we are able to derive a very useful set of identities. Namely:

Lumped Circuit Transformer Model

Using what we know about an ideal transformer, we are able to apply a transformation (multiplication by an Impedance Scaling Factor) to the impedance located on the secondary side effectively moving them to the primary side. This will allow us take out the Ideal Transformer from the exact model and leave us with a Lumped Circuit model. Lumpedtransformer.jpg
