Question

A single-phase transformer has 480 turns on the primary and 90 turns on the secondary. The mean length of the flux path in the core is 1.8 m and the joints are equivalent to an airgap of 0.1 mm. The value of the magnetic field strength for 1.1 T in the core is 400 A/m, the corresponding core loss is 1.7 W/kg at 50 Hz and the density of the core is 7800 kg/m3. If the maximum value of the flux density is to be 1.1 T when a p.D. Of 2200 V at 50 Hz is applied to the primary, calculate: a. The cross-sectional area of the core; b. The secondary voltage on no load; c. The primary current and power factor on no load.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) cross sectional area of the core = 0.0187 m²

b) The secondary voltage on no-load = 413 V

c) The primary currency and power factor on no load is 1.21 A and 0.168 lagging respectively.
