Sol : cos-1 0.6 = 53.130 (sin φ = 0.8)
I2 = 280/-53.130A
Φ = cos-1 0.2 = 78.50
Sin φ = 0.98
I1 = I0 + I’2
I’2 = (I2/K) ( -53.130
K = N1/N2 = 1000/200 = 5
I’2 = 280/5 (-53.130

Sol. Full load efficiency at 0.8 pf
= 40 x 0.8/(40 x 0.8) + losses
Full load cu loss = (440/220)2 x 100
= 400 W
Iron loss = 400 + 300
= 700 W
n = 40 x 0.8/(40 x 0.8) + 0.7 = 97.8 %

So, the above equations become Wh = P (E/f)2 f = P E1.6f-0.6
600= P x 12001.6 x 50-0.6
P=0.074
The eddy current loss We= Q (E/f)2f2 = QE2
