Note: Answer any FIVE full questions.
Graph sheet shall be supplied, if necessary
Missing data, if any, may be suitably assumed.

1 A. A 25 KVA, 11 kV/400 V, 50 Hz single phase transformer has a no load losses of 700 W and full load
ohmic losses of 1200 W. The full load voltage regulation at 0.8 pf lagging is 13.5%.

how the equivalent circuit parameters of each transformer are computed using test readings. 4

2 A. Discuss different methods for cooling transformers based on their rating. 3

2 B. A single phase transformer has an equivalent impedance of (0.00342 +j 0.0094) referred to its
secondary side. Similar impedance for another transformer is (0.00347 +j 0.0197) . The two
transformers are connected in parallel to share a total load impedance of (0.16+ j 0.12) . The

respective secondary voltages at no load are 105 V 0 and 115 3 V. Determine
(i) No load circulating current.
(ii) Common terminal voltage.

3 B. Two single phase furnaces are supplied by two phases of a Scott connected transformers each at

while the other furnace consumes 5 kW, both at upf. Determine
(i) Transformation ratios of the transformers,
(ii) Three line currents drawn from the supply.

machine under low voltage and over load conditions. 4
5 B. A 230 V DC shunt motor has an armature resistance of 0.2 and shunt field resistance of 75 .
