TUTORIAL No II
Question one
A single-phase auto-transformer has a voltage ratio 320V:250V and supplies a load of 20 kVA at
250V. Assuming an ideal transformer, determine the current in each section of the winding.

Question two
A three-phase transformer has 500 primary turns and 50 secondary turns. If the supply voltage is
2.4 kV, find the secondary line voltage at no-load when the windings are connected in (a) star-
delta and (b) delta-star.
Question Three
A 2400V/400V single-phase transformer takes a no-load current of 0.5A and has a core loss of
400W. Determine the values of the magnetizing and core loss components of the no-load current.
Question Four
A transformer takes a current of 0.8A when its primary is connected to a 240V, 50Hz supply
with the secondary being open circuit. If the power absorbed is 72 W, determine (a) the iron loss
current, (b) the power factor on no-load, and (c) the magnetizing current.
Question Five
A 120kVA, 6000/400V, Y/Y 3-phase,50Hz transformer has an iron loss of 1600W. Maximum
efficiency occurs at ¾ full load. Find efficiencies of transformer at:
Full load and 0.8 power factor, Half load and unity power factor, and The maximum efficiency
Question Six
A 3 phase, 6600/415-V, 2000 kVA transformer has a per unit resistance of 0.02 and per unit
leakage reactance of 0.1. calculate the copper loss and regulation at full load 0.8 power factor
lagging.
Question Seven
A 3- phase, 50Hz transformer has a delta connected primary and star connected secondary, the
line voltages being 22000V and 400V respectively. The secondary has a star connected balanced
load at 0.8 power factor lagging. The line current on the primary side is 5A. Determine the
current in each coil of the primary and in each secondary line. What is the output of the
transformer in kW.
Question eight
An armature of a three phase alternator has 120 slots The alternator has8 poles. Calculate its
distribution factor.
Question nine
In a 4 pole, 3 phase alternator, armature has 36 slots. It is using an armature winding which is
short pitched by one slot. Calculate its coil span factor.
Question Ten
An Armature runs at 250 r.p.m. and generates an e.m.f. at 50 Hz. There are 216 slots each
containing 5 conductors. The winding is distributed and full pitch. All the conductors of each
phase are in series and flux per pole is 30 mWb which is sinusoidal distributed. If the winding is
star connected, determine the value of induced e.m.f. available across the terminals.
