Question
Q2.
a)
Discuss the circumstances where parallel operation of transformers may be
considered beneficial.
b)
Two three-phase transformers have the following secondary equivalent circuit
parameters per phase where the values have been derived from your student
number using the same method as in Question 1:
x-2 y=8
Transformer 1:
Transformer 2
= 0.03X 0
R2 = 0.04Y 0
%3D
X = 0.09X Q
X2 = 0.12Y 0
For example:
If your student number is c1700123, then R, = 0.032 N and R,
=0.043 0.
Calculate the current delivered by each transformer if the load draws a current
of 200 A at a power factor of 0.8X lagging when connected in parallel. State
any assumptions which you make.
For example:
If your student number is c1700123, the power factor is 0.82 lagging.
