Why Transformer Rating in kVA ?
As seen, Cu loss of a transformer depends on current and iron loss on voltage. Hence, total transformer loss depends on volt-ampere (VA) and not on phase angle between voltage and current
i.e. it is independent of load power factor. That is why rating of transformers is in kVA and not in kW.
Example 32.35. The primary and secondary windings of a 30 kVA 76000/230, V, 1-phase transformer have resistance of 10 ohm and 0.016 ohm respectively. The reactance of the transformer referred to the primary is 34 ohm. Calculate the primary voltage required to circulate full-load current when the secondary is short-circuited. What is the power factor on short circuit ?
(Elect. Machines AMIE Sec. B 1991)
A 1-phase transformer has a turn ratio of 6. The resistance and reactance of primary winding are 0.9 W and 5 W respecitvely and those of the secondary are 0.03 W and 0.13 W respectively. If 330 -V at 50-Hz be applied to the high voltage winding with the low-voltage winding short- circuited, find the current in the low-voltage winding and its power factor. Neglect magnetising current.
Example 32.39. The efficiency of a 1000-kVA, 110/220 V, 50-Hz, single-phase transformer, is 98.5 % at half full-load at 0.8 p.f. leading and 98.8 % at full-load unity p.f. Determine (i) iron loss (ii) full-load copper loss and (iii) maximum efficiency at unity p.f.
(Elect. Engg. AMIETE Sec. A Dec. 1991)
Solution. Output at F.L. unity p.f. = 1000 ´ 1 = 1000 kW
F.L. input = 1000/0.988 = 1012.146 kW
F.L. lossses = 1012.146 – 1000 = 12.146 kW
If F.L. Cu and iron losses are x and y respectively then
x + y = 12.146 kW …(i)
Example 32.41. The low voltage winding of a 300-kVA, 11,000/2500-V, 50-Hz transformer has 190 turns and a resistance of 0.06. The high-voltage winding has 910 turns and a resistance of 1.6 W . When the l.v. winding is short-circuited, the full-load current is obtained with 550-V applied to the h.v. winding. Calculate (i) the equivalent resistance and leakage reactance as referred to h.v. side and (ii) the leakage reactance of each winding.
Solution. Assuming a full-load efficiency of 0.985, the full-load primary current is
Example 32.42. A 230/115 volts, single phase transformer is supplying a load of 5 Amps, at power factor 0.866 lagging. The no-load current is 0.2 Amps at power factor 0.208 lagging. Calculate the primary current and primary power factor.
(Nagpur University Summer 2000)
Solution. L.V. current of 5 amp is referred to as a 2.5 amp current on the primary (= H.V.) side, at 0.866 lagging p.f. To this, the no load current should be added, as per the phasor diagram in Fig. 32.50. The phase angle of the load-current is 30º lagging. The no load current has a phase angle of 80º lagging. Resultant of these two currents has to be worked out. Along the reference, active components are added.
Active components of currents = 2.5 ´ 0.866 + 0.2 ´ 0.208
