EE208 Practice Questions-Chapter 2

Question 1

A 1000-VA 230/115-V transformer has been tested to determine its equivalent circuit. The results of the
tests are shown below.
Open-circuit test Short-circuit test
V oc = 230 V V sc = 19.1 V
I oc = 0.45 A I sc = 8.7 A
Poc = 30 W Psc = 42.3 W
All data given were taken from the primary side of the transformer.

(a) Find the equivalent circuit of this transformer referred to the low-voltage side of the transformer.

(b) Find the transformer’s voltage regulation at rated conditions and (1) 0.8 PF lagging, (2) 1.0 PF, (3) 0.8

PF leading.

(c) Determine the transformer’s efficiency at rated conditions and 0.8 PF lagging.

Question 2

A 20-kVA 8000/480-V distribution transformer has the following resistances and reactances:
R p= 32 Ω R s = 0.05Ω
X p = 45 Ω X s = 0.06 Ω
Rc = 250 kΩ X m = 30 kΩ

The excitation branch impedances are given referred to the high-voltage side of the
transformer.
(a) Find the equivalent circuit of this transformer referred to the high-voltage side.
(b) Assume that this transformer is supplying rated load at 480 V and 0.8 PF lagging. What is
this transformer’s input voltage? What is its voltage regulation?
(c) What is the transformer’s efficiency under the conditions of part (b)
Question 3

A 10-kVA, single-phase transformer has its primary connected to a 2000-V supply. It

has 60 turns on the secondary winding and voltage across it is found to be 240 V. Assuming the
transformer to be ideal, calculate (a) the number of turns on its primary winding; (b) the full-
load primary and secondary currents.
