A singal phase transformer is rated at 100 kva at full load its copper...
Calculation of Efficiency at Half Load and 0.8 Power Factor
Given Data:
- Transformer Rating (kVA) = 100
- Copper Losses (W) = 1200
- Iron Losses (W) = 960
Efficiency Formula:
Efficiency = (Output Power / Input Power) x 100%
Calculation of Output Power:
Output Power = Transformer Rating x Load Power Factor x Load Fraction
At Half Load, Load Fraction = 0.5
At 0.8 Power Factor, Load Power Factor = 0.8
Output Power = 100 x 0.8 x 0.5 = 40 kW
Calculation of Input Power:
Input Power = Output Power + Copper Losses + Iron Losses
Input Power = 40,000 + 1200 + 960 = 42,160 W
Calculation of Efficiency:
Efficiency = (Output Power / Input Power) x 100%
Efficiency = (40,000 / 42,160) x 100% = 94.98%
Explanation:
- Efficiency is the ratio of output power to input power.
- At half load and 0.8 power factor, the output power is 40 kW.
- The input power is calculated by adding the copper losses and iron losses to the output power.
- The efficiency is then calculated using the formula and is found to be 94.98%.
- This means that the transformer is able to convert 94.98% of the input power into output power.
