Question

What is it important in studying power systems to understand ferromagnetic core flux and hysteresis characteristics?

Answer 1

Importance of understanding ferromagnetic core flux in power system is :

Transformer consists of two or more coils of wire wrapped around a common ferromagnetic core. One of the transformer windings is connected to a source of ac electric power is called primary winding and secondary transformer winding supplies electric power to loads is called secondary winding.

by understanding ferromagnetic core flux we come to know the changing in voltage and current levels in electric power systems

Matching source and load impedance for maximum power transfer in electronic and control circuitry

and electrical isolation.

importance of hysteresis characteristics :

knowing susceptibility,permeability and hystersis loss for different magnetic materials their suitable selection can be made for practical and industrial applications

for making electromagnets

for making permanent magnets

for making trnsformer cores.
