Transformer Primary and secondary currents
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A single phase transformer has the following rating : 120kVA. 2000v/100v, 60 Hz with 1000 primary turns. Determine: a.Secondary turns b.The rated primary and secondary currents 2. Relevant equations Vp/Vs = Np/Ns 3. The attempt at a solution a. I have used the Vp/Vs = Np/Ns to work out secondary turns 1000 x 100/2000 which gave me 50 secondary turns. b. I arent sure if I have gone about this the right way and just wanted to check. I divided the 120000VA by the primary voltage of 2000 to give me 60A. Is this correct to do this. Then with my 60A I put that into the Vp/Vs = Ip/Is which gave me 3A as secondary current. Could someone please tell me if this is correct thanks |

Vp/Vs = Ip/Is is not the correct equation.... have another look at it.
If the transformer is 100% efficient then power supplied = power delivered. |
