In summary, the conversation discussed the primary and secondary winding voltages of a transformer, its rating, winding resistance and leaking reactance. It also calculated the % voltage regulation under different power factors and determined the primary winding resistance. The final part of the conversation determined the transformation ratio and the secondary winding resistance.

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.
Relevant Equations
.
Primary winding voltage v1 = 415V
Secondary winding voltage v2 = 11kv
Rating of transformer is 200KVA
winding resistance Rieq = 0.14 Ω
winding leaking reactance Xieq = 0.057 Ω

A) % regulation at 0.8 power factor lagging

Primary winding current I1 = 200/415 = 482a
Power factor CosΦ = 0.8 lag
SinΦ = 0.6

% Voltage regulation = I1Rieq/V1 cosΦ + I1Xieq/V1 SinΦ
= (482x0.014/415)x 0.8 + (482x0.057/415)x0.6

= 0.013 + 0.038972
= 0.05272
= 5.272%

B) Primary winding resistance R1 = 10mΩ = 0.01Ω

Power factor = cos Φ = 1
sin Φ = 0

% Voltage regulation = I1Rieq/v1 cosΦ + I1Xieq/v1 sinΦ

0.02 = 482xRieq/415 x1 + 482xXieq/415 x 0

482x0.014/415 x1 + 482x0.057/415 x 0

= 0.0162

Where k is transformation ration

K = N2/N1 = V2/V1 = 100/415 = 26.5

0.0162 = 0.01 + r2/26.5√

r2/25.5√ = 0.0072

r2 = 5.0585 ΩNot sure if I'm correct , the course notes are not much good

a) it is correct.

b) How much is 2% of 415 V?

Req=Rp+R's

R's=Rs/k^2 k=11/.415=26.5 indeed.
 

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

A 415V to 11 kV transformer is used to step up or step down the voltage of an electrical system. It converts the incoming electrical energy from 415V to a higher voltage of 11 kV, or vice versa, depending on the application.

2. How does a 415V to 11 kV transformer work?

A 415V to 11 kV transformer works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It consists of two coils, a primary coil and a secondary coil, which are wound around a laminated iron core. When an alternating current flows through the primary coil, it creates a changing magnetic field, which induces a voltage in the secondary coil.

3. What are the applications of a 415V to 11 kV transformer?

A 415V to 11 kV transformer is commonly used in power distribution systems, where it steps up the voltage for long-distance transmission and steps it down for local distribution. It is also used in industrial settings to power large machinery and equipment.

4. What safety precautions should be taken when working with a 415V to 11 kV transformer?

Working with high voltage transformers can be dangerous, so it is important to take proper safety precautions. This includes wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, ensuring the transformer is de-energized before handling, and following proper lockout/tagout procedures.

5. How do you maintain a 415V to 11 kV transformer?

To ensure the efficient and safe operation of a 415V to 11 kV transformer, regular maintenance is necessary. This includes checking for any signs of damage or wear, monitoring the transformer's temperature and oil levels, and performing routine testing and inspections as recommended by the manufacturer.
