A transformer has a primary voltage of 480 volts and a secondary voltage of 20 volts. What is the turns ratio of the transformer?
The following data were obtained on a 50 kVA 2400/120 V transformer:
Open circuit test, instruments on low voltage side:
Waltmeter reading = 396 Watts
Ammeter reading = 9.65 amperes
Voltmeter reading = 120 Volts
Short circuit test, instruments on high voltage side:
Waltmeter reading = 810 Watts
Ammeter reading = 20.8 amperes
Voltmeter reading = 92 Volts
Find the efficiency when rated kVA is delivered to a load having a power
factor of 0.8 lagging.The following data were obtained on a 50 kVA 2400/120 V transformer :
