Full load condition of real transformer

AI Thread Summary
The full load condition of a transformer is characterized by the maximum load it can handle without overheating or exceeding its rated specifications. In this context, the primary voltage (Vp) and secondary voltage (Vs) must be carefully considered, especially when calculating the equivalent circuit parameters. When the secondary current has a lagging power factor of 0.8, the primary voltage may exceed 2300 V under full load conditions due to voltage drops across the equivalent resistance and reactance. The transformation ratios and equivalent circuit parameters should be adjusted accordingly, using the correct formulas for referred secondary values. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for accurate transformer operation and performance analysis.

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.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
