What is difference between a 120V/240V step-up and 240/120 V step-down single phase
transformers? Both transformers are rated 5 kVA and operated at 60 Hz. Explain your answer by
means of relevant diagrams and equations.

Question 2 [6
Marks]

A speaker of 9 Ω, resistive impedance is connected to a supply of 10 V with internal resistive

impedance of 1 Ω, as shown in Fig. E2.1a.

(a) Determine the power absorbed by the speaker.

(b) To maximize the power transfer to the speaker, a transformer of 1:3 turns ratio is used
between source and speaker as shown in Fig. E2.1b. Determine the power taken by the speaker.

Question 3 [10
Marks]

A single-phase transformer of 3 kVA, 60 Hz, has a voltage ratio on open circuit of 240 / 120 V.
The primary and secondary resistances are 0.25 Ω and 0.05 Ω respectively, the corresponding
leakage reactance being 0.75 Ω and 0.18 Ω. The transformer delivers current to the load at a 0.9
power factor lagging.
