losses being equally divided-between iron and copper. During a
day, the transformer operates on full load for 3 hours, one half load
for 4 hours, the output being negligible for the remainder of the day.
Calculate the allday efficiency.

sides for a
3000/220V ratio. To allow for insulation of stamping, assume the net iron
length to be 90 by gross iron length .

and full load copper losses are 350 and 400 respectively. Calculate the
efficiency of unit power factor on:
i. Full load
ii. Half load
4. Find the all day efficiency of 500KVA distribution transformer whose
copper loss and iron loss at full load are 4.5Q'V and 3.5KW

resistance of 0.6Q and magnetic flux per pole of 0.30Wb. If it
takes a current of 200A, and have 950 conductors. Calculate:

7. a. A single-phase transformer has 1000 turns on its primary winding and 200
turns on its secondary winding. The transformer no load current taken from
the supply is 3A at a power factor of 0.2 lag. Calculate the primary winding
current Ip and its corresponding power factor when the secondary current
supplying a transformer loading is 280A at 0.8 lag.
