Tesla Coil and Its Applications

The document discusses Tesla coils, including their history, components, applications, advantages, and disadvantages. Nikola Tesla invented the coil in the late 1800s intending to transmit electricity wirelessly. A Tesla coil uses a primary and secondary coil connected to capacitors to generate high voltage, high frequency electricity. Applications include wireless power transmission and charging devices without wires. Advantages are eliminating wires, but disadvantages include greater complexity and cost.

What is Tesla Coil?
Tesla Coil And Its Applications

● A two stage transformer which creates high voltage at


high frequencies.
● Power levels 1 to 6 KW (or more!)
● Frequencies 100 to 500 KHz
History

About 100 years ago, Nikola Tesla


invented his Tesla Coil

Tesla invented his coil with the intention


of transmitting electricity through the air.

Transmission of electrical energy from


power source to an electrical load
without wires

Parts of Tesla Coil –
• Primary coil
• Secondary Coil
• Top Load
• Capacitor
• Auto Transformer
• Other basic Components
Primary Coil -

• The Primary coil is used with the primary capacitor to create the primary LC
circuit.

• The primary coils are also responsible for transferring power to the secondary
coil.
Secondary Coil

• The secondary coil is


used with the top
load to create the
secondary LC circuit.
• Magnet wire is used
to wind the coil.
• There’s always a
little space between
turns, so the
equation assumes
the coil turns are
97% perfect.
Top Load -

• The top load is used with the secondary coil to create the secondary LC circuit.

• Generally a toroid or sphere shape is used.

• The ring diameter refers to the widest length from edge to edge of a toroid shape.
Applications -

• It is widely used in various places such as -


Advantages -

• Totally replaces the wires.


• Electronic gadgets like laptops,
mobiles, iPod, etc. can be
charged wirelessly.
• Charging is automatic without
human intervention.
• No need of power cables and
batteries.
Disadvantages -

• More complex circuit is required.


• Greater Cost.
• Capacitor used is expensive and stores high energy.
• It requires a 3 phase supply to be most effective.
• Current drawn is non-sinusoidal.
Future of Tesla Coil
Conclusion -

• After studying and developing the model of tesla coil, we


came to following conclusion –
• We are able to generate high voltage with high frequency
and it can be used for testing the apparatus for switching
surges.
• It can also be used for study of visual corona and ionization
of gases under the electrical stress.
• It can also transmit the electrical power wirelessly up to
certain distance depends upon its ratings.
