1. The maximum flux density in the core of a 250/3000-volts, 50-Hz single-phase
transformer is 1.2 Wb/m2. If the emf per turn is 8 volts, determine (i) primary and
secondary turns (ii) area of the core.
2. A single-phase transformer has 400 primary and 1000 secondary turns. The net
cross-sectional area of the core is 60 cm2. If the primary winding be connected to
a 50-Hz supply at 520 V, calculate (i) the peak value of flux density in the core (ii)
the voltage induced in the secondary winding.
3. A power transformer has 1000 primary turns and 100 secondary turns. The cross-
sectional area of the core is 6 cm2 and the maximum flux density while in
operation is 1 T. Calculate turns per volt for the primary and secondary windings.
4. The primary and secondary of a 25-kVA transformer has 500 and 40 turns,
respectively. If the primary is connected to 3000 V, 50 Hz mains, calculate (i)
primary and secondary currents at full load; (ii) The secondary emf and (iii) The
maximum flux in the core. Neglect magnetic leakage, resistance of the winding
and the primary no-load current in relation to the full load current.
5. The emf per turn of an 11 kV /415 V, 50 Hz single-phase core type transformer is
15 V. The maximum flux density in the core is 2.5 T. Find number of primary and
secondary turns and net cross-sectional area of core.
6. A 100 kVA, 3300/200-volt, 50 Hz single phase transformer has 40 turns on the
secondary, calculate:
(i) the values of primary and secondary currents.
(ii) the number of primary turns.
(iii) the maximum value of the flux.
If the transformer is to be used on a 25 Hz system, calculate.
(iv) the primary voltage, assuming that the flux is increased by 10%.
(v) the kVA rating of the transformer assuming the current density in the windings
to be unaltered.
