1. The 230-V primary winding of a 60 cycle transformer has 4800 turns. Calculate: (10pts)
a. the mutual flux
b. the total number of turns in the 230-V secondary winding.

2. The maximum flux in the core of a 60-cycle transformer that has 1320 primary turns and 46 secondary
turns is 3.76x106 maxwells. Calculate the primary and secondary induced voltages. (10pts)

3. The secondary load current of a 2300/115-V transformer is 46 amp. Calculate the primary current. (5pts)

4. The primary and secondary currents of a transformer were measured and found to be 3.8 and 152 amp.

5. The percent regulation of a 4800/240-V distribution transformer is 3.33 percent. Calculate the voltage
to which the secondary voltage will rise when full load is removed. (5pts)

6. Calculate the percent regulation of a 2300/115-V transformer whose no load voltage was measured
and found to be 118 volts. (5pts)

7. A 25-kVA 2300/230-V distribution transformer has the following reactance and leakage reactance
values: Rp = 0.8, XP = 3.2, RS = 0.009, XS = 0.03. Calculate the equivalent values of resistance, reactance,
and impedance. (a.) In secondary terms, (b.) In primary terms. (20pts)
