Single Phase Transformer

1. A 30 KVA, 1800/280 V, 100 Hz single phase transformer has primary turns of 300. Determine (a) Flux
in core, and (b) Secondary turns.

Solution:

(a)

E1 = 4.44 f Φm N1

Φm = 1800/(4.44x100x300) = 0.0135 wb

(b)

E2/E1 = N2/N1

280/1800 = N2/300

N2 = 47 turns

2. Referring to number 1, calculate the (a) Rated primary current, and (b) Rated secondary current.

Solution

(a)

E1I1fl = VA

1800I1fl = 30K

I1fl = 16.6667A

(b)

E2I2fl = VA

280I2fl = 30K

I2fl = 107.1429 A

3. The emf per turn for a single phase 2200/220‐V, 50‐Hz transformer is approximately 12 V. calculate
the number of primary and secondary turns.

Solution:

Np = 2200V/12V = 183 turns

Ns = 220V/12V = 18 turns

4. A single phase 2300, 230 V, 50 Hz, core type transformer has a core section of 0.05 m 2. If the
permissible maximum flux density is 1.1 wb/ m 2, calculate the number of turns on primary and
secondary.

Solution:

Φm = BmxA = 1.1x0.05 = 0.055wb

NP = 2300/(4.44x50x0.055) = 188 turns

Ns = 230/(4.44x50x0.055) = 19 turns

5. The emf per turn for a single phase 1100/110‐V, 25‐Hz transformer is approximately 8 V. calculate the
number of primary and secondary turns.

Solution:

Np = 1100V/8V = 138turns

Ns = 110V/8V = 14 turns

6. A single phase 1300, 130 V, 50 Hz, core type transformer has a core section of 0.05 m 2. If the
permissible maximum flux density is 1.1 wb/ m 2, calculate the number of turns on primary and
secondary.

Solution:

Φm = BmxA = 1.1x0.05 = 0.055wb

NP = 1300/(4.44x50x0.055) = 106 turns

Ns = 130/(4.44x50x0.055) = 11 turns

7. A single phase transformer has 200 primary and 500 secondary turns. The net cross-sectional area of
the core is 30 cm2. If the primary winding is connected to a 50 Hz supply at 250 V, calculate (a) Peak
value of flux density in the core, and (b) Transformer ratio.

Solution:

(a)

Φm = 250/(4.44x50x200) = 5.6306x10-3 wb

Bm = 0.0113/(30x10-4) = 1.87 wb/m2

(b)

K = N2/N1 = 500/200 = 2.5

8. Referring to number 7, calculate the (a) Voltage induced in the secondary, and (b) emf induced per
turn.

Solution:

(a)

E2/E1 = N2/N1

E2 = E1 x K = 250x2.5 = 625 V

(b)

E1/turn = 250/200 = 1.25 V/turn

E2/turn = 625/500 = 1.25 V/turn

9. A 50 KVA, 2300/440 V, 50 Hz single phase transformer has primary turns of 200. Determine (a) Flux in
core, and (b) Secondary turns.

Solution:

(a)

E1 = 4.44 f Φm N1

Φm = 2300/(4.44x50x200) = 0.0518 wb

(b)

E2/E1 = N2/N1

440/2300 = N2/200

N2 = 38 turns

10. Referring to number 9, calculate the (a) Rated primary current, and (b) Rated secondary current.

Solution:

(a)

E1I1fl = VA
2300I1fl = 50K

I1fl = 21.7391 A

(b)

E2I2fl = VA

440I2fl = 50K

I2fl = 113.6364 A
