Single phase transformer question

In summary, the conversation discusses the parameters of a 100 kVA, 2300/230V, single phase transformer and how to find the input current and voltage. The transformer delivers 75 kW at 230 V at 0.85 power factor lagging. Using the equation S = P/cos(∅), the secondary VA output is determined to be 88.24 kVA. The formula Ip = Io + Is/a is then used to find the input current, with a final result of 40.05∠-34.2.

I'm confused with the part where the transformer delivers 75kW. Then will the secondary current be 0.75*Israted ?

You know the power and the PF so you can determine the secondary's VA output.

So,
cos(∅) = P/S
S = P/cos(∅)
= 75/0.85
= 88.24 kVA

So would the secondary current be
Is = 88.24/230 = 383.65A ?

That should be right.

Ok, so to find the input current, Ip, would this be right ?

From my schematic:

Ip = Io + Is/a.....1

Io = 2300(1/4.5k + 1/1k)

Is/a = 383.65∠-31.79 / 10
= 38.365∠-31.79

Therefore,

Ip = 2300(1/4.5k + 1/1kj) + 38.365∠-31.79
= 40.05∠-34.2

Therefore,

Ip = 2300(1/4.5k + 1/1kj) + 38.365∠-31.79
= 40.05∠-34.2
That looks right.

What is a single phase transformer?

A single phase transformer is an electrical device that is used to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction. It consists of a primary winding, a secondary winding, and a core made of magnetic material.

What is the purpose of a single phase transformer?

The main purpose of a single phase transformer is to step up or step down the voltage level of an AC power supply. This allows for the efficient transmission and distribution of electrical energy for various applications.

What are the different types of single phase transformers?

There are two main types of single phase transformers: step-up transformers, which increase the voltage level, and step-down transformers, which decrease the voltage level. These can further be classified as isolation transformers, autotransformers, and variable transformers based on their construction and use.

How does a single phase transformer work?

A single phase transformer works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When an AC current flows through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field. This induces an alternating current in the secondary winding, which is then transferred to the load.

What are the factors to consider when choosing a single phase transformer?

The main factors to consider when choosing a single phase transformer include the power rating, voltage ratio, frequency, and insulation class. Other factors may include efficiency, size, weight, and cost.
