Q.2
(a) (i) Briefly explain TWO major power losses in a power transformer.
(ii) Suggest one method to reduce each power losses in Q.2(a)(i).
(b) A single-phase transformer, 30 kVA, 1000 V/ 415 V, 50 Hz has the following
test results:
Open-circuit test: 1000 V, 1 A, 800 W (measured at the high voltage side)
Short-circuit test: 120 V, 20 A, 1200 W (measured at the high voltage side)
(i) By referring all parameters to the high voltage side, calculate the equivalent
winding resistance Reqi, equivalent winding reactance Xeql, the core
internal resistance, R. and magnetizing reactance, Xm value.
(ii) A full load with a 0.9 lagging power factor is connected to the transformer.
Calculate the transformer's voltage regulation and efficiency.
(iii) Determine the transformer's maximum efficiency when the load is at 0.9
power factor lagging.
Figure Q.2(c) shows the Y-A configuration of a three-phase power transformer.
Give two reasons why this configuration is preferred as a step-up transformer.
