Q1: Two transformers each of rating 5KVA, 220V/220V are supplying a 10kWresistive
load in Open Delta configuration .This is a delta configuration in which the transformer
between phases C and A has been removed.
(i)Find the line current in the star load. (ii)Find the current carried by the secondary
windings of the transformers.(ii) Are the transformers loaded beyond their ratings?

Q2: A transformer rated 200MVA, 345 kV Star/20.5 kV Delta, connects a balanced load
rated 180MVA, 22.5kV, 0.8p.f.lag to a transmission line.
(i)
Find the complex impedance of the load in p.u., if the base in the transmission
line is 100 MVA, 345kV.
(ii)
Find the rating of each of the three single phase transformers which when
properly connected will be equivalent to the three phase transformer shown.
