Homework Statement
A load of 1000 kVA at 0.866 p.f. lagging is supplied by two 3 phase transformers of 800 kVA capacity operating in parallel. Ratio of transformation is same : 6600/400 V, delta/ star. If the equivalent impedances referred to secondary are (0.005 + j.015) ohm and (0.012 + j 0.030) ohm per phase respectively. Calculate load and power factor of each transformer.
In the solution of given question while calculating the secondary current for star connection , they found it as I2=1000 *1000/√3*400 .. but generally in questions , the voltages we are given are line voltages , but according to this it seems that the given voltage 400 is phase voltage ..! So this become confusing that what should we consider the given data whether line or phase??
Also , for calculating the load by formula load = 3 VpIp , they took phase voltage as 254..! How this voltage came up?[/B]
Homework Equations
Considering the 2 transformers in parallel as A & B,
I2A=ZB/ZB+ZA * I2 I2B=ZA+ZA+ZB *I2[/B]
The Attempt at a Solution
secondary current I2 = 1000*1000*√3 /400 , this is the secondary current according to me as I am considering the voltage given as line , but in textbook solution the voltage is √3*400..! [/B]
