AI Thread Summary
A 100 kVA, 2300/230V single-phase transformer is analyzed for its input current and voltage while delivering 75 kW at a 0.85 power factor. The secondary apparent power is calculated as 88.24 kVA, leading to a secondary current of approximately 383.65 A. The input current is derived using the formula Ip = Io + Is/a, with Io calculated from the transformer's parameters. The final input current is found to be 40.05 A at an angle of -34.2 degrees. The calculations and methodology used in the discussion appear to be correct.

I'm confused with the part where the transformer delivers 75kW. Then will the secondary current be 0.75*Israted ?

You know the power and the PF so you can determine the secondary's VA output.

So,
cos(∅) = P/S
S = P/cos(∅)
= 75/0.85
= 88.24 kVA

So would the secondary current be
Is = 88.24/230 = 383.65A ?

That should be right.
 
Ok, so to find the input current, Ip, would this be right ?

From my schematic:

Ip = Io + Is/a.....1

Io = 2300(1/4.5k + 1/1k)

Is/a = 383.65∠-31.79 / 10
= 38.365∠-31.79

Therefore,

Ip = 2300(1/4.5k + 1/1kj) + 38.365∠-31.79
= 40.05∠-34.2

That looks right.
