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).



The Attempt at a Solution


No idea how to begin.

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...
