transformer in magnetic shieldings.

__________________ typically used in low power applications to connect circuits with
different voltage classes. It contains only one winding, cannot isolate circuits, and is
usually smaller, lighter, and cheaper than other transformers.
_________________ this type of transformer adjusts a voltage level to device
specifications. They are commonly used as circuit isolators.
_________________ these produce a relatively constant output voltage, despite
potentially large variances in the input voltage.
_________________ also called a regulator, it has a self-adjusting secondary
winding that provides a consistent output current for any load within its dynamic
range. It is common for streetlight applications.
_________________ this is the oft-seen, pole-mounted transformer that steps-down
current for light-duty electrical applications.
_________________ to produce a high-voltage output, the transformer stores energy
in its magnetic windings for a short period of time.
_________________ steps-up voltage levels to a suitable long-distance
transmission voltage level.
_________________ utilizes phase-shifting, electromagnetic flux cancellation, and
source impedance to decrease harmonic currents in distribution systems, which
ultimately lowers transformer operating temperature.
_________________ are used to minimize signal reflection from an electrical load
and often have a 1:1 turn ratio.
_________________ supply power to constant-current or constant-voltage devices
that may be sensitive to variations in electrical supply, such as solenoids, relays, or
other electromechanical devices.
________________ isolates communication signals.
________________ is not used to step-up or step-down voltages, but rather to buffer
circuits from each other.
________________ maintains a high leakage inductance by loosely coupling the
magnetic fluxes of the primary and secondary windings. This makes the transformer
short-resistant, an important characteristic of transformers for welding operations.
________________ supplies low voltages for lighting and other light-duty
applications.

PROBLEM SOLVING
400 kVA transformer has a primary winding resistance of 0.5 and a secondary winding
resistance of 0.001. The iron loss is 2.5kW and the primary and secondary voltages are 5 kV
and 320V respectively. If the power factor of the load is 0.85, determine the efficiency of the
transformer (a) on full load, and (b) on half load.
