= 400/2500 = 0.16 A
I20 = I2w + I2µ
Iµ = √I20 – I2w
= √ (0.5)2 – (0.16)2
Iµ = 0.473 A

A2)
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
I’2 = 56(-53.130
I1 = I0 + I’2
= 4(0.20 – j0.98) + 56(0.6 – j0.8)
= 0.80 – j3.92 + 33.6 – j44.8

Z01 = √R201 + X201 = R01 + jX01
R01 = R1 + R2/K2 = 0.3 + 0.01/K2 = 0.69 Ω
K = 80/500 = 4/25
X01 = X1 + X2/K2 = 1.1 + 0.035/(0.16)2 = 2.467 Ω
Z01 = 0.69 + j2.46
(ii). Secondary terminal voltage Z02 = K2 Z01
Z02 = 0.018 + j 0.063
= 0.065 ( 74.050
No-load secondary voltage = KV1
= 0.16 x 2400 = 384 V
I2 = 100 x 103/384 = 260.42 A

Φ = 36.860
Sinφ = 0.6
= 260.42(0.018 x 0.8 – 0.063 x 0.6)
= - 6.094 V
% regn = -6.094/384 x 100

n = 50 / 50 + .850 = 50/50.850 = 0.98 = 98%
(ii). Half full load, unity pf
= 50 KVA/2 = 25 KVA
Cu loss = 400 x (1/2)2 = 100 W
Iron loss is same = 450 W

n = 25/25 + 0.55 = 25/25.55 = 0.978 = 97.8 %
Q5) A 40 KVA 440/220 V, 1- φ, 50 Hz transformer has iron loss of 300 W. The cu loss is found to be 100 W when delivering half full-load current. Determine (i) n when delivering full load current at 0.8 lagging pf (ii) the percentage of full-load when the efficiency will be max.
A6)
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 %
(ii). KVA for maximum / F.L KVA = √ iron loss / F.L cu loss

Eddy current Loss (We) α P f2 = Q f
The emf equation of transformer is given as E= 4.44fNBmaxA
Bmax α E/f
So, the above equations become Wh = P (E/f)2 f = P E1.6 f-0.6
600= P x 12001.6 x 50-0.6
P=0.074
The eddy current loss We= Q (E/f)2 f2 = QE2
350=Q x 12002
Q=0.243 x 10-3
Now the applied voltage is raised to 2000V so finding new losses with above found P and Q
Wh = P E1.6 f-0.6 = 0.074 x 20001.6 x 100-0.6 = 893.06W
We= QE2 = 0.243 x 10-3 x 20002 = 972 W
