8. A 10 power transformer supplies a load 8 kW of power at a power factor of 0.77 lagging at full load. The voltage at the load is 115V. The transformer has 1200 turns on its primary and 450 windings on its secondary. The iron loss is 325 Watts and the primary copper loss is 150 Watts and the secondary copper loss is 260 Watts. Find a) The full load apparent power and the secondary and primary currents at full load. b) The resistance of the primary and secondary windings. c) The transformer's full load operating efficiency as a percent.
