Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a short circuit experiment conducted on a single-phase transformer, focusing on the calculations and results obtained from the experiment. Participants are addressing specific questions related to the electric current and power during the experiment under different voltage conditions.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents a scenario involving a single-phase transformer with nominal data and results from a short circuit experiment, seeking assistance with calculations.
  • Another participant questions the clarity of the transformer specifications, asking for confirmation on whether it is a 10kV to 0.4kV transformer.
  • A participant suggests that calculations for the short circuit test using 500V should be shown to assess the correctness of the approach.
  • One participant provides a link to their calculations but expresses uncertainty about their correctness and seeks further guidance on how to proceed.
  • Another participant calculates the impedance (Zk) but questions the initial voltage and current values used in the calculation, seeking clarification on the equations and subscripts used in the discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the correctness of the calculations or the interpretation of the transformer specifications. Multiple viewpoints and questions remain unresolved.

Contextual Notes

There are uncertainties regarding the calculations presented, the definitions of terms used, and the specific equations applicable to the scenario. Some participants express confusion over the notation and subscripts in the equations.

hi guys,
this is a question from an exam about a single phaze transformer and it goes like this, I am sorry for the bad translation in some parts i couldn't find the correct terms:
A single phaze transformer is given with nominal data of - 10k/0/4 kV/kV , 100kVA
A short circuit experiement was done when the low side of the voltage is shorted and the other side (higher side of the voltage) is fed with 500V. The following results came: I=10A , P=1kW

A. what will be the electric current flow and power in the short circuit experiement if the higer side of the voltafe was fed with 400V?
B. we short the higher side of the voltage and feed the transformer on the lower side of the voltage. what should be the feeding voltage in this case to the power will be 1kW? what will be the current?

I gave it a try but it dosent look too succefull could you help me out please?
Thank you for reading!

Can you edit the subject line, and change "transistor" to "transformer"?

Is this a 10kV to 4kV transformer?
 


i tried editing the title right after i posted it and couldn't change it

its 10k to 0.4k
 


I think you will need to show your calculations for the s/c test using 500v, before anyone can say whether you are doing something wrong.

A useful equation is: [itex]P=V.I.cos\phi[/itex]

You have Zk=Vk/Ik = 1000 ohms
Why isn't it 500v / 10 Amp?

Where did you find the equation: V=V(1-kLuk.cos(phi - uL))
and, more to the point, do you actually use it?

I can't discern some of your subscripts. What does the subscript "k" stand for?
