The ideal transformer is one that works without loss. In the transformer in vacuum when applying the voltage U1 in the primary, with the secondary without load (open), the transformer absorbs an electric current of magnetization (Im).
As the circuit is inductive, the voltage U1 is advanced by 90 ° in relation to this current and the current Im generates the magnetic flux (φm) in the transformer core, which induces the counterelectromotive force (fcem) in the primary windings (e1) and secondary (e2).
For a transformer to increase the voltage, the number of turns of the secondary winding must be greater than that of the primary winding and for a transformer to lower the voltage, the number of windings of the secondary winding must be less than that of the primary winding.
In the operation of a transformer with secondary load when placing a load on the secondary, it will have a current I2 circling, delayed by an angle θ2 with respect to e2.
The current I2 generates a magnetomotive force f.m.m.m.2 and this force, consequently, deviate the equilibrium of the system reached as a function of the mutual flow φm, which was provided by f.m. produced (N1 · Im). Under these conditions, the transformer absorbs a high current such that the equilibrium between U1 and e1 is restored.
