Assignment-3

1. Explain the working principle of Transformer and derive its EMF equation.

2. Draw and explain the Equivalent circuit of 1-phase transformer.

3. Derive the condition for maximum efficiency of transformer.

4. A single-phase transformer operates from a 230 V supply. It has an equivalent resistance

of 0.1 Ω and an equivalent leakage reactance of 0.5 Ω referred to the primary. The
secondary is connected to a coil having a resistance of 200 Ω and a reactance of 100 Ω.
Calculate the secondary terminal voltage and equivalent resistance and reactance referred
to secondary . The secondary winding has four times as many turns as the primary.

5. A 5-kVA, 110/110-V, single-phase, 50-Hz transformer has full-load efficiency of 95%

and an iron loss of 50 W. The transformer is now connected as an auto-transformer to a
220-V supply. If it delivers a 5-kW load at unity power factor to a 110-V circuit,
calculate the efficiency of the operation and the current drawn by the high-voltage side.
