QUESTION 21:

Find the rated HV side current (in A) of an 110KVA, 11KV:110V, 50 Hz transformer

Correct Answer: 10

QUESTION 22:

Find the rated LV side current (in A) of a 110 KVA, 11 KV : 110 V, 50 Hz transformer
Correct Answer: 1000

QUESTION 23:

If we use a 110 KVA, 11 KV : 110 V, 50 Hz transformer as a step down transformer then what is
the minimum resistance (in Ω) that must be connected between the LV terminals
Correct Answer: 0.11
Detailed Solution:
Rated LV side current = 1000 A
 NPTEL Online Certification Courses
Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur

Rated LV side voltage = 110 V

So the minimum resistance that must be connected between the LV terminals = 110 V / 1000 A
= 0.11 Ω

QUESTION 24:

If we use a 110 KVA, 11 KV : 110 V, 50 Hz transformer as a step up transformer then what is the
minimum resistance (in Ω) that must be connected between the HV terminals
Correct Answer: 1100
Detailed Solution:
Rated HV side current = 10 A
Rated HV side voltage = 11 KV
So the minimum resistance that must be connected between the HV terminals = 11 KV / 10 A =
1100Ω

QUESTION 25:

If a 110 KVA, 11 KV : 110 V, 50 Hz step up transformer is operating at half load then calculate
the magnitude of the impedance connected to the secondary side (in Ω).
Correct Answer: 2200
Detailed Solution:
Rated secondary (HV) side current = 10 A
Operating at half load means the actual secondary current is 0.5×10A= 5 A
HV side voltage = 11 KV
So the magnitude of the impedance connected to the secondary side = 11 KV / 5 A = 2200 Ω
______________________________________________________________________________
QUESTION 26:

A 110 KVA, 11 KV : 110 V, 50 Hz transformer is being used with 5.5 KV supply voltage connected
to the HV side. What is the maximum KVA that this transformer can deliver under this
condition?
Correct Answer: 55
Detailed Solution:
Rated HV side current (maximum current) = 10 A
Operating HV side voltage = 5.5 KV
So maximum deliverable KVA = 5.5KV×10A = 55KVA

QUESTION 27:

Select the correct statements

a. The HV coil of a transformer has thicker conductors then the LV coil
b. The HV coil of a transformer has thinner conductors then the LV coil
c. Both the coils in a transformer should have same thickness
