(a) Rating of transformer = = 2700 VA or 2.7 kVA

(b) Power supplied to load = V I cos  = (2700)(0.8) since power factor = cos  = 0.8

= 2.16 kW

(c) from which, primary current, = 5 A
2. A single-phase transformer is rated at 40 kVA. The transformer has full-load copper losses of

800 W and iron losses of 500 W. Determine the transformer efficiency at full load and 0.8 power

factor.
Efficiency =

Full-load output power = V I cos  = (40)(0.8) = 32 kW

Total losses = 800 + 500 = 1.3 kW

Input power = output power + losses = 32 + 1.3 = 33.3 kW

Hence, efficiency, = 0.961 or 96.10%
3. Determine the efficiency of the transformer in problem 2 at half full-load and 0.8 power factor.
Half full load power output = = 16 kW

Copper loss (or loss) is proportional to current squared

Hence, copper loss at half full load = = 200 W

Iron loss == 500 W (constant)

Total loss = 200 + 500 = 700 W or 0.7 kW

Input power at half full load = output power at half full load + losses = 16 + 0.7 = 16.7 kW

Hence, efficiency, = 0.9581 or 95.81%
4. A 100 kVA, 2000 V/400 V, 50 Hz, single-phase transformer has an iron loss of 600 W and a full-

load copper loss of 1600 W. Calculate its efficiency for a load of 60 kW at 0.8 power factor.


Efficiency =

Full-load output power = V I cos  = (100)(0.8) = 80 kW

Load power = 60 kW

Hence the transformer is at full load

Hence, copper loss at 3/4 load = = 900 W

Total losses = 900 + 600 = 1.5 kW

Input power = output power + losses = 60 + 1.5 = 61.5 kW

Hence, efficiency, = 0.9756 or 97.56%



5. Determine the efficiency of a 15 kVA transformer for the following conditions:

(i) full-load, unity power factor (ii) 0.8 full-load, unity power factor (iii) half full-load, 0.8

power factor. Assume that iron losses are 200 W and the full-load copper loss is 300 W
(i) Full load power output = V I cos  = (15)(1) = 15 kW

Losses = 200 + 300 = 500 W or 0.5 kW

Input power at full load = output power + losses = 15 + 0.5 = 15.5 kW

Hence, efficiency, = 0.9677 or 96.77%

(ii) At 0.8 full load, unity power factor, output power = 0.8  15 = 12 kW

Losses = = 392 W or 0.392 kW

Input power at 0.8 full load = output power at 0.8 full load + losses

= 12 + 0.392 = 12.392 kW

Hence, efficiency, = 0.9684 or 96.84%

(iii) At 0.5 full load and 0.8 power factor, output power = 0.5  15  0.8= 6 kW

Losses = = 275 W or 0.275 kW

Input power at 0.5 full load = output power at 0.5 full load + losses

= 6 + 0.275 = 6.275 kW

Hence, efficiency, = 0.9562 or 95.62%


6. A 300 kVA transformer has a primary winding resistance of 0.4  and a secondary winding

resistance of 0.0015 . The iron loss is 2 kW and the primary and secondary voltages are 4 kV and

200 V respectively. If the power factor of the load is 0.78, determine the efficiency of the

transformer (a) on full load, and (b) on half load.


(a) Rating = 300 kVA = V1 I1 = V2 I2
Hence primary current, I1 = = = 75 A

and secondary current, I2 = = = 1500 A

Total copper loss = I12 R1 + I22 R2, (where R1 = 0.4  and R2 = 0.0015 )
= (75)2(0.4) + (1500)2(0.0015)
= 2250 + 3375 = 5625 watts
On full load, total loss = copper loss + iron loss
= 5625 + 2000
= 7625 W = 7.625 kW
Total output power on full load = V2 I2 cos 2
= (300  103)(0.78) = 234 kW
Input power = output power + losses = 234 kW + 7.625 kW = 241.625 kW
Efficiency,  =  100%

=  100% = 96.84%

(b) Since the copper loss varies as the square of the current, then total
copper loss on half load = 5625  = 1406.25 W

Hence total loss on half load = 1406.25 + 2000


= 3406.25 W or 3.40625 kW
Output power on half full load = (234) = 117 kW

Input power on half full load = output power + losses


= 117 kW + 3.40625 kW = 120.40625 kW
Hence efficiency at half full load,
 =  100%

=  100% = 97.17%



7. A 250 kVA transformer has a full load copper loss of 3 kW and an iron loss of 2 kW. Calculate

(a) the output kVA at which the efficiency of the transformer is a maximum, and (b) the

maximum efficiency, assuming the power factor of the load is 0.80.
(a) Let x be the fraction of full load kVA at which the efficiency is a maximum.

The corresponding total copper loss =

At maximum efficiency, copper loss = iron loss

Hence, from which, and x = = 0.8165

Thus, the output kVA at maximum efficiency = 0.8165  250 = 204.1 kVA

(b) Total loss at maximum efficiency = 2  2 = 4 kW

Output power = 204.1  0.8 = 163.3 kW

Input power = output power + losses = 163.3 + 4 = 167.3 kW

Hence, maximum efficiency, = 0.9761 or 97.61%

and secondary current, = 100 A

Hence, current in common part of winding = = 100 – 62.5 = 37.5 A


2. Calculate the saving in the volume of copper used in an auto transformer compared with a

double-wound transformer for (a) a 300 V:240 V transformer, and (b) a 400 V:100 V

transformer.
(a) For a 300 V:240 V transformer, x = = 0.80

From equation (20.12), volume of copper in auto transformer

= (1 – 0.80)(volume of copper in a double-wound transformer)

= (0.20)(volume of copper in a double-wound transformer)

Hence, saving is 80%

(b) For a 400 V:1000 V transformer, x = = 0.25

From equation (20.12), volume of copper in auto transformer

= (1 – 0.25)(volume of copper in a double-wound transformer)

= (0.75)(volume of copper in a double-wound transformer)

Hence, saving is 25%
