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.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
