Question:
The nameplate on a 50-MVA, 60-Hz single-phase transformer indicates that it has a voltage rating of 8.0-kV: 78-kV. An open-circuit test is conducted from the low-voltage side, and the corresponding instrument readings are 8.0kV, 62.1A, and 206kW. Similarly, a short-circuit test from the low-voltage side gives readings of 674 V, 6.25 kA, and 187 kW.
a. Calculate the equivalent series impedance, resistance, and reactance of the transformer as referred to the low-voltage terminals.
b. Calculate the equivalent series impedance of the transformer as referred to the high-voltage terminals.
c. Making appropriate approximations draw a T equivalent circuit for the transformer.
d. Determine the efficiency and voltage regulation if the transformer is operating at the rated voltage and load (unity power factor).
e. Repeat part (d), assuming the load to be at 0.9 power factor leading.
