A one-phase, 50 Hz, 40 kVA transformer with a ratio of 2000 V/250 V ha...
Concept:
Consider a two winding single phase transformer as shown below,
N1 = primary winding turns
N2 = secondary winding turns
V1 = primary winding voltage
V2 = secondary winding voltage
I1 = current through the primary winding
I2 = current through the secondary winding
Transformation ratio: It is defined as the ratio of the secondary voltage to the primary voltage. It is denoted by K.
Transformer equivalent circuit with respect to secondary can be represented a show below
Where R02 = Effective resistance of the transformer as referred to the secondary side of the transformer.
R02 = R2 + R1' ------- (2)
R1' = Equivalent primary resistance as referred to the secondary winding
R1' = R1 × K 2 ------ (3)
Similarly, effective resistance of the transformer as referred to the primary side of the transformer is given as,
R01 = R1 + R2'
R2' = Equivalent secondary resistance as referred to the primary winding
R2' = R2 / K 2
Calculation:
Given data
V1 = 2000 V, V2 = 250 V, R1 = 1.15 Ω, R2 = 0.0155 Ω
From equation(1)
K= V2 / V1
K = 250 / 2000
K = 1 / 8
Effective resistance of the transformer as referred to the secondary of the transformer.
From equations(2) & (3)
R02 = 0.0155 + 1.15 / 82
R02 = 0.0335 Ω
Power output P = 40 kVA
V2 I2 = 40 × 103
I2 = 40000 / 250
I2 = 160 A = Ifl
Ifl is the full load current flowing through the secondary.
We required to find power loss at half full load condition
So, current at half full load is given as,
∴ Total power loss at half full load condition is given as,
Phfl = I2hfl × R02
Phfl = 802 × 0.0335
Phfl = 214.2 W
