About transformer configuration

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a 15kVA transformer with specific voltage drop characteristics at full load. Participants are trying to clarify how to interpret the voltage drop percentages related to winding resistance and leakage reactance. There is a suggestion to simplify the problem by focusing on the voltage drop values without the additional context. The conversation emphasizes breaking down the problem into manageable parts for better understanding. Overall, the thread aims to assist in solving transformer configuration questions effectively.

i may need your help for following question.

15kva, 2300/230v, 50Hz transformer has voltage drop of 2% and 4% of load voltage, due to winding resistance and leakage reactance respectively, at full load. 230v is maintained at the secondary terminal. The full load copper loss is equal to the iron loss. All parameters are referred to the secondary side. find

1. the primary voltage at full load and unity power factor
2. the half load efficiency at 0.8 power factor lagging.
3. The load power factor at which the voltage regulation would be zero.

you may indeed!

let's find out

show us what you've tried, and where you're stuck, and then we'll know how to help! :smile:
 
i am stuck in the beginning with this text
"voltage drop of 2% and 4% of load voltage, due to winding resistance and leakage reactance respectively" what is this means? how can i add this data for any formula.

i think you are supposed to ignore the words "due to winding resistance and leakage reactance" …

just read it as "voltage drop of 2% and 4% of load voltage" :wink:
 
""i think you are supposed to ignore the words "due to winding resistance and leakage reactance" …
""

seems to me those words could be mighty important - might they suggest a complex impedance?

Take those "givens" one at a time.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
