- A single-phase l0-kVA,2300/230-volt,60-Hz two-winding distribution transformer is connected as an autotransformer to step up the voltage from 2300 to 2530 volts (a) Draw a schematic diagram of this arrangement, showing all voltages and currents when delivering full load at rated voltage. (b) Find the permissible kVA rating of the autotransformer if the winding currents and voltages are not to exceed the rated values as a two-winding transformer. How much of this kVA rating is transformed by magnetic induction? (C) The following data are obtained from tests carried out on the transformer when it is connected as a two-winding transformer: Open-circuit test with the low-voltage terminals excited: Applied voltage =230V, input current =0.45A, input power =70W. Short-circuit test with the high-voltage terminals excited: Applied voltage =120, input current =4.5A, input power =240W. Based on the data, compute the efficiency of the autotransformer corresponding to full load, rated voltage, and 0.8 power factor lagging. Comment on why the efficiency is higher as an autotransformer than as a two-winding transformer.arrow_forwardIn developing per-unit circuits of systems such as the one shown in Figure 3.10. when moving across a transformer, the voltage base is changed in proportion to the transformer voltage ratings.

The low-voltage winding has a 110 volt rating. (a) Draw the positive-sequence phasor diagram and show that the high-voltage winding has a 479.5 volt rating.

The transformer bank is delivering 100 MW at 0.8 p.f. lagging to a substation bus whose voltage is 230 kV.
