Calculating Transformer Input Voltage?

Click For Summary
To calculate the input voltage of a 2400/240-V transformer with given parameters, the equivalent circuit must be drawn and analyzed. The load is specified as 1.5Ω with a power factor of 0.9 (lagging), raising questions about the validity of this load value. Clarification is needed regarding whether Xm is in ohms or henrys, as well as the nature of the load impedance. Participants emphasize the importance of showing initial work to receive effective assistance. The discussion highlights the necessity of understanding transformer parameters and circuit analysis for accurate voltage calculations.

Homework Statement


A 2400/240-V, 60-Hz transformer has the following parameters in the equivalent circuit of Figure 6.5: the high-side leakage impedance is (1.2+j2.0)Ω, the low-side leakage impedance is (0.012+j.02)Ω, and Xm at the high-side is 1800 . Neglect Rhe. Calculate the input voltage if the output voltage is 240 V (rms) and supplying a load of 1.5 at a power factor of 0.9 (lagging).

Draw up your equivalent circuit and solve for Vin.

While you're at it, is Xm = 1800 in ohms or henrys? And what about " .. a load of 1.5 ..."? Units of 1.5?
 
The load is 1.5Ω, and Xm is also in Ω.
 
Show us your equivalent circuit?

1.5 ohms is a very large load. You sure about it? If so, what component do you need to add to the load resistor to make the total impedance 1.5 ohms? (Or, what component needs to be added to the 1.5 ohm resistive load? I'm not sure which is the case here).

It is not a valid schoolwork thread starter to show zero work in your OP. Please check your PMs, and then show some effort in this thread where you are receiving hints & help...
