Transformer Regulation Homework: Hughes Electrical Book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving transformer regulation homework using equations from the Hughes electrical book. The user seeks confirmation on their calculations, particularly regarding the primary rated current and the regulation equation. They correctly identify that 2% of 415 is acceptable, but need clarification on calculating equivalent resistance. The conversation also includes a light personal exchange about pets, but the main emphasis remains on the technical aspects of transformer regulation. Overall, the user is looking for validation and guidance on their approach to the homework problem.

Homework Equations


I have used the Hughes electrical book for the equations to solve the above. I have very little notes from college to help. I have found these equations fit and am confident on it but not 100% can anyone who knows transformers please advise if they think i am right or wrong on the equations. i am finding it hard but have done my best.

The a part it is correct. Part b 2% of 415 is o.k. but in the regulation equation you have to employ the primary rated current: 200x1000/sqrt(3)/415. When you'll find R subtract 0.01 and this will be the added resistance at primary side[415 V].Then you have to calculate this resistance as if it is at secondary side.
 
how comes I need to divide 200x 1000 by square route of three?
 
Do you mean R as equivalent resistance referred to primary?
 
is this better?

o.k.
 
you mean its correct?
 
yes.
 
Thanks so much Babadag

I like your cat by the way.
