Full load condition of real transformer

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the full load condition of a transformer, specifically addressing the appropriate primary and secondary voltage values to use in calculations. Participants explore the implications of load conditions on transformer behavior, including the effects of power factor and equivalent circuit parameters.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions whether to use Vs = 230 V or Vp = 2300 V in the full load condition, considering the secondary current has a 0.8 power factor lagging.
  • Another participant discusses the transformation of secondary parameters to primary parameters, suggesting the use of R’s, X’s, and V’L based on the turns ratio.
  • A correction is made regarding the transformation equations, specifying that R's and X's should be calculated using the square of the turns ratio.
  • It is noted that neglecting the upstream voltage drop results in a decrease of only the secondary voltage with load.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the appropriate voltage values to use in calculations and the effects of load conditions, indicating that multiple competing perspectives remain without consensus.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved assumptions regarding the impact of upstream voltage drops and the specific conditions under which the transformer operates, which may affect the calculations and conclusions drawn.

What is the full load condition of a transformer.

Then in reference to the equation:

Vp = aVs + Req*Ip + jXeq*Ip (the very common complex equation of a simple equivalent circuit )

Should I use Vs= 230 V or Vp = 2300 V in full load load condition or will the magnitude of the primary voltage be greater than 2300 V in full load condition , if it is given that the secondary current is 0.8 power factor(PF) lagging.
if so why??

Usually we take VS, Rp, Xp but R’s, X’s and V’L that means the secondary parameters referred to primary. R’s=Rs*np/ns; X’s=Xs*np/ns V’L=VL*np/ns If np/ns=Ep/Es~ Vprated/Vsrated then V’L=VL*Vprated/Vsrated[Vsrated at no-load].
The load p.f. it is cos(fi) –fi the angle between VL and Iload.
 
Correction:
R's=Rs*np^2/ns^2; X's=Xs*np^2/ns^2
 
If we neglect the upstream voltage drop only the secondary voltage decreases with the load.
