Answer to Problem 1QAP

The desirable characteristics of glasses are explained below.

Explanation of Solution

Glasses are the non-crystalline materials that contain more percentage of silicon dioxide (SiO2) by volume. The desirable characteristics of glasses are listed below.

  1. 1. In general, the glasses are transparent that permit visible light to travel through it.
  2. 2. Comparatively they have good mechanical strengths.
  3. 3. The glasses are more resistant to chemicals.
  4. 4. The fabrication process of glasses are easy.

1. A three-phase transformer with Yd connection, 300 kVA, 12000/220 V, has been short-circuit tested on the high voltage side giving the following results: 750 V, 14.434 A, 10838 W.When the transformer is connected to nominal voltage without load it consumes 5400W. Calculate:to. Relative voltages of short circuit high voltage side: εcc, εRcc and εXcc.b. The voltage in the secondary when the transformer is connected to nominal voltage and feeds a load of 200 kW fp = 0.8 in delay.c.
