Assignment-I
1. A cast steel magnetic structure made for a bar of section 8cm x 2cm is shown in figure below.
Determine the current that the 500 turn magnetizing coil on the left limb should carry. So that a flux
of 2mwb is produced in the right limb, the relative permeability (μr ) is 600.

2. A steel ring with an external and internal diameter of 30cm and28cm respectively, circular cross-
section of 4cm diameter, is wound uniformly with a coil having 500 turns. If an air gap of 5cm is
made by cut across the section of the ring. Calculate the flux intensity in the air gap when a current
of 10ampere is passed through the coil. (take permeability of steel as 1200).

3. A 3-phase, 4-wire transformer supplies power at 400V and lighting at 230V.If the lamps in use
require 70, 84 and 33A in each of the three lines. What should be the current in the neutral wire only
lighting loads connected to the transformer? If a 3- phase motor is started, taking 200A from the line
at power factor of 0.8, what would be the current in each line and the neutral line? Find also the total
power supplied to the lamps and the motor.

4. A 50 KVA,4,400/220 V transformer has 𝑅1 = 3.45 𝛺, 𝑋1 = 5.2 𝛺, 𝑅2 = 0.009𝛺

𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑋2 = 0.015 𝛺. Calculate for the transformer

a) Equivalent resistance referred to primary, b) Equivalent resistance referred to secondary
c) Equivalent reactance referred to primary, d) Equivalent reactance referred to secondary
e) Equivalent impedance of the transformer referred to both primary side and secondary side
f) Total copper loss, first using individual resistances of the two windings and secondly, using
equivalent resistances as referred to each side
5. A 2.2kVA, 440/220V, 50 Hz Step down three phase transformer has the following parameters as
referred to the primary side:𝑅1 = 3𝛺, 𝑋1 = 4𝛺, , 𝑅𝐶1 = 2.5 k 𝛺 and 𝑋𝑚1 = 2 k 𝛺. The transformer is
operating at full load with a power factor of 0.707 lagging. Determine the efficiency and the voltage
regulation of the transformer

6. Calculate or estimate the remaining parameter to design the three-phase core type distribution
transformer of having the following specification
