Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A transformer core has a mean length of 0.75 m, a cross-sectional area of 0.001 m², and a permeability of 1.5 × 10⁻⁶ H/m. Calculate its reluctance and discuss how this will affect transformer efficiency.

💡 Hint: Focus on the units and values in the formula.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how choosing materials for a transformer with varying reluctance impacts its operating temperature and longevity.

💡 Hint: Consider the consequences of energy losses over time.
