EEE2044S TUTORIAL EXERCISE 4: INTRODUCTION TO POWER ENGINEERING

Instructions: Please answer all questions. Show your workings at all times. You are not required to hand-in this
tutorial exercise. However, it serves as a guide for what you can expect in the tests and examination.

P.C. Sen Problem 2.8


1. A resistive load varies from 1 to 0.5Ω. The load is supplied by ac generator through an ideal transformer whose
turns ratio can be changed by using different taps as shown in Fig.1. The generator can be modelled as a
constant voltage of 100V (rms) in series with an inductive reactance of j1Ω. For maximum power transfer to
the load, the effective load resistance seen at the transformer primary (generator side) must equal the series
impedance of the generator- that is, the transferred value of R to the primary side must always be 1Ω.
a) Determine the range of turns ratio for maximum power transfer to the load
b) Determine the range of load voltages for maximum power transfer
c) Determine the power transferred
