Distorsion

We have already mentionned the distorsion phenomenon in the core, due to the non-linear induction curve B=f(H). The percent of harmonic distorsion generated by a transformer of equivalent resistance :
displaymath558
and of primary inductance tex2html_wrap_inline554 at a frequency f is :
displaymath582
where tex2html_wrap_inline584 is the amount of harmonic distorsion on the output current in case of a zero impedance source. This value can be found on the data-sheets of the core.
