Open circuit and short circuit test of a 400 kVA, 200/400 V, 50 Hz, single phase
1 transformer gave the following test results. 4
OC test: 200 V, 1 A, 100 W (carried on L.V. side)
SC test: 15 V, 10 A, 85 W (carried on HV side)
i) Draw equivalent circuit as referred to L.V. Side
ii) Determine efficiency at full load and half the full load at 0.8 power factor.
2 The maximum efficiency of a 500 kVA, 3300/500 V, 50 Hz single phase
transformer is 97 % and occurs at 3/4 full load unity power factor. If the 4
impedance is 10%, calculate the regulation at full load 0.8 pf lagging.

Draw the phasor diagrams and connection schemes for each of the four phasor
3 groups pertaining to 3 phase transformer. 4

A 3 phase delta/star connected 11000/400 V, 50 Hz transformer takes a line 4

4 current of 5A, when secondary load of 0.8 power factor lagging is connected.
Determine each coil current and output of transformer.
A 220 V d.c series motor has armature and field resistances of 0.15 Ω and 0.10 Ω 4
5 respectively. It takes a current of 30 A from the supply while running at 1000 rpm.
If an external resistance of 1 Ω is inserted in series with the motor, calculate the
new steady state armature current and the speed.
A 220 V shunt motor has armature and field resistances of 0.2 Ω and 220 Ω 5
6 respectively. The motor is driving load torque, TL ∝ N2 and running at 1000 rpm
drawing 10 A current from the supply. Calculate the new speed and armature
current if an external armature resistance of value 5 Ω is inserted in the armature
circuit. Neglect armature reaction and saturation.

A 400 V d.c. shunt motor takes a current of 6 A on no-load. The resistances of 5

7 armature and field circuits are 0.2 Ω and 200 Ω respectively. Find the efficiency of
the motor when loaded and taking a current of 80 A.
