Tutorial # 2: Transformers
Question #1
A 25-kVA, 440/220-V, 60-Hz transformer has the following parameters:
R1 = 0.16 
R2 = 0.04 
Rc1 = 270 
X2 = 0.08 
Xm1 = 100 

220 V across the load. Find the primary terminal voltage. (Use the exact equivalent circuit).

A 150-kVA, 2400/240-V transformer has the following parameters referred to the primary side: Re1
= 0.5  and Xe1 = 1.5 . The shunt magnetizing impedance is very large and can be neglected. At
full load, the transformer delivers rated kVA at 0.85 lagging power factor and the secondary voltage
is 240 V. Calculate:
a) The voltage regulation
b) The efficiency assuming core losses amount to 600 W.
Question #3
A50-kVA, 2400/240-V, 60-Hz single-phase transformer has a short-circuit test performed on its
high-voltage side. An open-circuit test is performed on the low-voltage side. The following test
results were obtained:
Open-circuit test, with the high-voltage winding open:
Voc = 240 V
Ioc = 5.4 A
Poc = 186 W
Short-circuit test, with the low-voltage winding shorted:
Vsc = 48 V
Isc = 20.8 A
Psc = 620 W

b) Determine its voltage regulation, and efficiency at rated load, 0.8 power factor lagging, and
rated voltage at the secondary terminals.
Question #4
A single-phase, 10-kVA, 440/110-V, two winding transformer is connected as an autotransformer
to supply a load at 550 V from a 440 V supply. Calculate the following:
a) kVA rating as an autotransformer
b) Apparent power transferred by conduction
c) Apparent power transferred by electromagnetic induction.
Question #5
Three identical single-phase transformers are each rated 10-kVA, 2400/120 V, 60 Hz. They are
connected to form a three-phase 4160/208-V, Y-Y transformer bank. The equivalent impedance of
each single-phase transformer referred to the primary side is 10 + j25 . The transformer bank
delivers 27 kW at 208 V and 0.9 power factor leading.
