PROBLEMS:

1. A high-voltage winding of a transformer has a voltage rating of 480V and has 400 turns. How
many turns are there on the low-voltage winding if its voltage rating is 120V?

2. A 1000kVa 24000/2400-V transformer operates at 40V per turn. Find the number of turns on
each winding and the current rating of each winding.

3. A 5 ohms resistance is connected across the 120 V secondary winding of a step-down

transformer. If the primary current is 6A, what is the primary voltage?
4. The low-voltage winding of a step-down welding transformer has one turn and the high-voltage
winding 600 turns. When the transformer delivers 100A, what is the current in the high-voltage
winding?

5. Find the current ratings of each winding of a 100kVa 2400/120V 60Hz transformer.

6. A transformer is rated at 500kVa, 60Hz, and 2400/480 V. There are 200 turns on the 2400-V
winding. When the transformer supplies rated load, find (a) the ampere-turns of each winding and
(b) the current in each winding?
7. Find the size of wire in circular mils needed in each winding of a 10-kVa 2400/240-V 60Hz
transformer if the number of circular mils per ampere to be used in each winding is 1000. What is
the closest AWG size in each case?

8. Following are data from a test of a 3-kVa 240/120-V 60Hz transformer:

Resistance of 120 V winding 0.055 ohms

Resistance of 240 V winding 0.184 ohms
Core loss 28 W

Find the efficiency of the transformer when it delivers rated kilovoltamperes at unity power
factor.
