Single Phase Transformer Problems

1. A single-phase, 50-Hz transformer has 100 turns on the primary winding and 400
turns on the secondary winding. If the primary winding is connected to a 50-Hz, 230-
V supply, calculate (a) the emf induced in the secondary winding, and (b) the
maximum value of the flux in the core.

2. A single-phase, 50-Hz transformer has 30 turns on primary and 350 turns on

secondary. If the primary winding is connected to a 230-V, 50-Hz supply, calculate (a)
peak value of the flux in the core, (b) the voltage induced in the secondary winding,
and (c) the primary current when the secondary current is 100 A. Neglect the losses.

3. A 500-kVA, 11000-V/400-V, 50-Hz, single-phase transformer has 100 turns on the

secondary winding. Calculate (a) the approximate number of turns on the primary
winding, (b) the approximate values of the primary and secondary current, and (c) the
maximum value of the flux in the core.
