At relatively light loads, transformer efficiency is low because
Cu loss is small
Transformer losses are high
Secondary output is low
O Fixed loss is high in proportion to the output
A short circuit test was performed upon a 10 x 10^3 VA, 2,300/230V transformer
with the following results: Esc = 137 V, Psc = 192 W, Isc = 4.34 A. Calculate the
percent regulation at a lagging power factor of O.707. *
5.55%
5.28%
5.37%
5.72%
What is load at which maximum efficiency occurs in case of a 100 kVA
transformer with iron loss of 1 kW and full-load copper loss of 2 kW? *
50.5 kVA
O 100 kVA
O 25.2 kVA
70.7 kVA
