415V to 11kV Transformer Voltage % regulation

In summary, the conversation discusses a 415V to 11 kV transformer with a rating of 200 kVA. The winding resistance and leakage reactance when referred to the primary are given. The first question asks for the % regulation of the transformer at 0.8 power factor lagging, while the second question involves designing a transformer with specific winding resistance and voltage regulation. The conversation includes calculations for both questions and refers to previous discussions on the topic.

1. Homework Statement

A 415V to 11 kV transformer has a rating of 200 kVA. The winding resistance and leakage reactance when referred to the primary are 0.014 Ω and 0.057 Ω respectively.
(a) Determine the % regulation of the transformer at 0.8 power factor lagging.

(b) In designing a particular 415V to 11 kV, 200 kVA transformer, the primary winding resistance is to be 10 mΩ. Find the maximum winding resistance of the secondary winding if the transformer is to have 2% regulation at unity power factor.

The Attempt at a Solution



Hi, I have read through other threads re. this question and can't seem to follow what was being discussed, this I my attempt would appreciate if someone could tell me if I'm going wrong.

For reference I use R'p & X'p to represent secondary reflected onto primary.

a)
Cos^-10.8= 36.86989765°
Voltage regulation = VA/V1^2*(R'p*cosΦ+X'p*sinΦ)
= 200000 / 415^2 *(0.014*0.8+0.057*sin 36.86989765)
= 0.0527217303
= 5.27%

b)
n=E1/E2 = 415/11000 = 0.03772727273
as cos^-1 *1 = 0
Reg. = VA/V1^2*(R'p*cosΦ+X'p*sinΦ)
0.02 = 200000/415^2*(R'p*1+X'p*0)
R'p = 0.02 / 1.161271592
R'p = 0.017222501

R'p = Rp + Rs * n^2
Rs = (R'p-Rp) / n^2
Rs = (0.0172225001-0.01) / 0.03772727273^2
Rs = 5.074Ω

1. What is the purpose of a 415V to 11kV transformer?

A 415V to 11kV transformer is used to step up or increase the voltage from 415V to 11kV for efficient transmission and distribution of electrical power.

2. What is voltage regulation in a transformer?

Voltage regulation in a transformer refers to the ability of the transformer to maintain a constant output voltage despite changes in the input voltage or load. It is expressed as a percentage and represents the difference between the no-load and full-load output voltage.

3. How is voltage regulation calculated?

Voltage regulation is calculated by dividing the difference between the no-load and full-load output voltage by the full-load output voltage and multiplying it by 100. This value is then expressed as a percentage.

4. What is the acceptable range for voltage regulation in a transformer?

The acceptable range for voltage regulation in a transformer is typically between 5-10%. This means that the output voltage should not vary more than 5-10% from the rated output voltage at full load.

5. How does a transformer achieve voltage regulation?

A transformer achieves voltage regulation through the use of a magnetic core and windings. The core is made of a ferromagnetic material and the windings are wrapped around it. As the input voltage and load changes, the magnetic flux in the core also changes, which in turn affects the output voltage. The number of windings and their arrangement is designed to compensate for these changes and maintain a constant output voltage.
