A single-phase transformer has 480 turns on the primary and
90 turns on the secondary. The mean length of the flux path
in core is 1.8m and the joints are equivalent to the airgap of
0.1mm. The value of the magnetic field strength for 1.1 T in
the core is 400A/m, the corresponding core loss is 1.7W/kg at
50Hz and the density of the core is 7800kg/m3.
If the maximum value of the flux is to be 1.1T when a p.d of
2200V at 50Hz is applied to the primary, calculate:
(a) the cross-sectional area of the core;
(b) the secondary voltage on no load;

Short-circuit Test
In Short Circuit Test the secondary terminals are short circuited, and the
primary terminals are connected to a fairly low-voltage source
The input voltage is adjusted until the current in the short circuited windings
is equal to its rated value. The input voltage, current and power is
measured.

Transformer Voltage Regulation and
Efficiency
The output voltage of a transformer varies with the load even if the
input voltage remains constant. This is because a real transformer
has series impedance within it. Full load Voltage Regulation is a
quantity that compares the output voltage at no load with the output
voltage at full load, defined by this equation:
Vs
At noload k =
V S ,nl−VS , fl Vp
Regulation up = 100%
VS , fl (VP / k ) − VS , fl
Regulation up = x 100%
V S ,nl−VS , fl VS , fl
Regulation down = 100%
VS ,nl (VP / k ) − VS , fl
