PROBLEMS ON TRANSFORMERS

1. The number of primary and secondary windings is 80 and 120 respectively. The secondary
voltage is given by 240V, determine the primary voltage.
Solution: Vp/Vs=Np/Ns
Hence Vp=160V

2. The number of primary and secondary windings is 110 and 240 respectively. The primary voltage
is given by 300V, which determines the secondary voltage.
Ans: 654.5V
3.

4.A transformer has 600 turns on the primary and 120 turns on the secondary. 300 volts is
impressed on the primary and a current of 40 amps circulates on the secondary. Calculate: Turns
ratio, Secondary voltage, Primary current

(Ans: 5:1, 60V, 8amps)

5. A 3000/200V, 50Hz single phase transformer is built on a core having effective cross sectional area
of 150 cm2 and has 80 turns in the low voltage winding. Calculate the value of maximum flux
density in the core and the number of turns in the high voltage winding
(Ans: 0.75Wb/m2, 1200)
6. A 40KVA, 3300/240V 50Hz single phase transformer has 660 turns on the primary. Determine a)
the number of turns on the secondary b) the maximum value of the flux in the core c) approximate
values of primary and secondary full load currents
(Ans: 48, 22.5mWb, 12.1A, 166.7A)
7. The number of turns in the low voltage winding of a 200 KVA , 50Hz, 2000/250V single phase
transformer is 25. Calculate a) peak value of magnetic flux in the core b) the full load current in the
low voltage winding c) the number of turns in the high voltage winding
(Ans: 45 mWb, 800 A, 200)
8.

I1=50x1000/2200=22.72A

I2=50x1000/146.67=340.9A

9. A 10 kVA transformer has core losses of 70 W and copper losses of 100W. If the PF of the load is
90%, find efficiency at full load.
A 400 kVA transformer has full load copper loss of 51.56 KW. The iron loss is 2.5
Kw and the primary and secondary voltages are 5 kV and 320 V respectively. If
the power factor of the load is 0.85, determine the efficiency of the transformer (i)
on full load and (ii) on half load.

Solution:
Rated output = 400 kVA = 400x10 kVA3

Full load secondary current, I = Rated output/V = 1250 A


2 2

(i) Transformer efficiency at full load and 0.85 pf

(ii) Transformer efficiency at half load and 0.85 pf

(check: x2Pc)

In a 25KVA, 2000/200V power transformer, the iron loss and full load copper
losses are 350W and 400 W respectively. Calculate the efficiency at unity power
factor at a) full load b) half load
Efficiency: 97.08%

Efficiency=96.52%
The iron loss and full load copper loss of a 100KVA, 66KV/4KV single phase
transformer are 600W and 900W respectively. a) Calculate the efficiency at full
load and half load at 0.8pf lagging b) Calculate the load at which maximum
efficiency will occur at same power factor

Ans: 98.159%, 97.98%

KVA(load)=KVA(rating) sqrt(Pi(rated)/Pcu(rated))=81.06KvA
