Assignemnt
A 15-kVA, 2300/230-V transformer is to be tested (short circuit & open circuit tests as shown below) to determine its excitation branch components, its series impedances, and its voltage regulation (See figures below):
The following test data have been taken from the transformer:
Open-circuit test Short-circuit test
(High voltage side open) (Low voltage side shorted)
VOC = 230 V VSC = 47 V
IOC = 2.1 A ISC = 6.0 A
POC = 50 W PSC = 160 W
(a) Find the equivalent circuit for this transformer referred to the high-voltage side.
(b) Find the equivalent circuit for this transformer referred to the low-voltage side.
(c) Calculate the full-load voltage regulation at 0.8 lagging power factor, unity power factor & at 0.8 leading power factor using the exact equation for VP --- Do a phasor diagram for each case.
(d) Plot the voltage regulation as load is increased from no-load to-full load at power factors of 0.8 lagging, unity, and 0.8 leading.
(e) Find the efficiency of the transformer at full load with a power factor of 0.8 lagging.
