1.Easy

An ideal transformer has 7500 turns on its primary winding and 150 turns on its secondary winding. The primary is connected to a 6000 V AC supply. Find the secondary voltage V₂.

N₁ = 7500N₂ = 150V₁ = 6000 V

V₂ = V

2.Easy

An ideal transformer has 1600 turns on its primary winding and 200 turns on its secondary winding. The primary is connected to a 960 V AC supply. Find the secondary voltage V₂.

N₁ = 1600N₂ = 200V₁ = 960 V

V₂ = V

3.Medium

A 5 Ω resistor is connected across the secondary winding of an ideal transformer with a turns ratio N₁:N₂ = 8:1. Find the resistance R_1′ seen looking into the primary winding.

N₁:N₂ = 8:1R_L = 5 Ω

R_1′ = Ω

4.Medium

A single-phase 500 kVA, 6600/230 V transformer operates at its rated load. Treat it as ideal. Find the current I_LV in the low-voltage winding.

S = 500 kVAV₁ = 6600 VV₂ = 230 V

I_LV = A

5.Hard

A single-phase 75 kVA transformer has a core loss of 300 W and a copper loss of 900 W at rated load. At what load S_η,max, in kVA, is its efficiency highest?

S = 75 kVAP_core = 300 WP_cu,fl = 900 W

S_η,max = kVA

6.Hard

A single-phase 50 kVA transformer has a core loss of 150 W and a copper loss of 600 W at rated load. It supplies 75% of its rated kVA at a power factor of 0.8 lagging. Find the total losses P_loss in watts at this load.

S = 50 kVAP_core = 150 WP_cu,fl = 600 Wx = 0.75pf = 0.8

P_loss = W

Answer key

1. V₂ = 120 V
2. V₂ = 120 V
3. R_1′ = 320 Ω
4. I_LV = 2174 A
5. S_η,max = 43.3 kVA
6. P_loss = 487.5 W
