1. Consider a 20 kVA, 2200/220 V, 50 Hz, single phase transformer. Core loss at rated voltage
and copper loss at 80% of the full load of this transformer are 200 W and 500 W,
respectively. Calculate the percentage efficiency of the transformer if the output power at
the LV side of the transformer is 10 kVA at 0.9 pf lagging.

2. The equivalent circuit for a 50 kVA, 2200/220 V, 50 Hz single-phase transformer is shown in
figure below. Assume that the transformer is operating at rated secondary voltage and
rated apparent power with a 0.8 power factor (lagging). Estimate the copper loss in watts.

3. An 11500/2300 V transformer is rated at 100 kVA as a 2-winding transformer. If the
windings are connected in series to form an autotransformer, what will be the maximum
output power in kVA?

4. A 3-phase delta-wye transformer has an induced emf of 6000 V on the delta-connected
side. The secondary side is supplying full load current at a power factor 0.8 (lag). The line
voltage at secondary is 415 V. The resistance and reactance of the winding is 1% and 5%
respectively. Find the turns ratio of the transformer to the nearest integer.
