An iron-core transformer that is working at maximum flux density of 0.9 Wb/m^2 is replaced by silicon steel working at a maximum flux density of 1.2 Wb/m^2. If total flux is to remain unchanged, the reduction volume expressed as percentage of original volume (keeping the voltage and frequency per turn same) is:
- 10%
- 25%
- 35%
- 40%
Correct answer: 2. 25%
Solution:
From formula: E = 4.44 * f * N * Φm
Voltage per turn = 4.44 * f * Φm
Voltage per turn = 4.44 * f * Bm * a
voltage per turn and frequency are same, Bm a = constant
a ∝ 1/Bm
a1∝ 1/0.9 = 1.11
a2∝ 1/1.2 = 0.83
Percentage reduction in core volume = Reduction in core area
(1.11 – 0.83)/1.11) * 100 = (0.25)
=25%
A transformer has zero efficiency at
A transformer has zero efficiency at:
- No-load
- Half full-load
- Full-load
- None of these
Correct answer: No-load
The iron losses and full load Cu losses in a 50 kVA transformer are 400 and 800 W respectively. The efficiency of transformer at half full load at 0.85 PF lagging will be
The iron losses and full load Cu losses in a 50 kVA transformer are 400 and 800 W respectively. The efficiency of transformer at half full load at 0.85 PF lagging will be:
- 95.66%
- 97.40%
- 98.33%
- 99.36%
Correct answer: 2. 97.40%
Solution:
Total Full load losses = 400 + 800 = 1200 W = 1.2 kW
———————————-
Full load output = 50 * 0.85 = 45 kW
Full load input = 45 + 1.2 = 46.2 kW
———————————
Full load efficiency = 45/46.2 * 100 = 97.40%
The voltage per turn of primary of transformer is _________ voltage per turn of its secondary:
The voltage per turn of primary of transformer is _________ voltage per turn of its secondary:
- Lesser than
- Greater than
- Equal to
- None of these
Correct answer: 3. Equal to
