    The document describes how to measure the coupling factor k of a transformer. It defines the coupling factor k as the ratio of the mutual inductance M to the square root of the product of the individual winding inductances L1 and L2. It presents equations showing that the coupling factor k can be calculated from the inductance L1 measured across one winding with the other open, and the inductance Ls measured across the same winding with the other shorted, using the equation k = √(1 - Ls/L1).

    Measuring Transformer Coupling Factor k

    G. Barrere Exality Corporation

    A transformer with individual winding inductances L1 and L2 has mutual inductance M between the
    windings. Transformer terminal equations are:

    V 1= j L1I 1MI 2
    V 2 = j MI 1L2I 2

    (1)
    (2)

    If winding 2 is shorted, V2 becomes zero so equation (2) becomes:

    0= j MI 1L2I 2
    Solving for I2:

    I 2=

    MI 1
    L2

    (3)

    Substitute equation (3) into equation (1):

    M 2I 1
    M2
    V 1= j L1I 1
    = I 1j L 1

    L2
    L2

    (4)

    If you define

    M2
    L S =L1
    L2

    (5)

    then equation (4) is in the form

    V 1= I 1j Ls
    which is simply the voltage and current relationship of an inductor. L s is therefore the inductance
    measured across L1 with winding 2 shorted. Solving equation (5) for M2:

    M 2 = L2 L 1 Ls
    The definition of transformer coupling factor k is

    k=
    or

    M
    L1L2

    (6)

    k =

    M2
    L 1L2

    (7)

    Substitute equation (6) into equation (7):

    k 2=

    L 2 L1 Ls L1 Ls
    L
    =
    =1 s
    L1L2
    L1
    L1

    or

    k = 1

    Ls

    L1

    (8)

    L1 is the inductance measured across L1 with winding 2 open and Ls is the same measurement with
    winding 2 shorted. K is determined by inserting these inductance values into equation (8).
