Primary Current using Primary Parameters Formula Elements

Variables
Primary Current
Primary Current is the current which is flow in the primary winding of the transformer. The primary current of the transformer is dictated by the load current.
Symbol: I1
Measurement: Electric CurrentUnit: A
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Primary Voltage
Primary Voltage means the level of voltage at facilities at which electric power is taken or delivered, generally at a level between 12 kV and 33 kV, but always between 2 kV and 50 kV.
Symbol: V1
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
EMF Induced in Primary
EMF Induced in Primary Winding is the production of voltage in a coil because of the change in magnetic flux through a coil.
Symbol: E1
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Impedance of Primary
The Impedance of Primary Winding is the impedance you anticipate the device connected to the transformer primary side to have.
Symbol: Z1
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit: Ω
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
