Question 1
A 120 kVA, 6000/400 V Y/Y 3-phase, 50 Hz transformer has an iron loss of 1600 W. The
3
maximum efficiency occurs at full load. Find the efficiency of the transformer at:
4

(a) Full-load and 0.8 power factor [8]

(b) The maximum efficiency [6]
(c) Half-load and unity power factor [6]
Question 2
A certain 250 kVA, 3300/400 V, 50 Hz, Dy connected transformer has an impedance of (1.2
+ j3). The transformer supplies a balanced load of lagging power factor of 0.8.
2.1 Determine the turns ratio [2]
2.2 Determine the approximate per unit regulation [2]
2.3 Determine the approximate full load secondary voltage [2]
2.4 Determine the full-load copper loss [2]
2.5 Determine the full load efficiency if the iron loss is 3 kW [2]
2.6 Determine the load phase angle for maximum regulation [2]
2.7 Determine the load phase angle for zero regulation [2]
2.8 Determine the emf per turn if the flux is 0.039 wb [2]
2.9 Determine the equivalent resistance referred to the secondary [4]
