1. The following data applies to a single phase transformer: (a) Peak ux density in the core = 1.41 T (b) Net core area = 0.01 m2 (c) Current density in the conductors = 2.55 MA/m2 (d) Conductor diameter = 2.0 mm (e) Primary supply voltage (sinusoidal) = 240 V, 50 Hz Calculate the rating (in kVA) of the transformer and the number of turns on the primary winding. (5 marks) 2. The primary of a certain transformer takes 1 A at a power factor of 0.4 when connected across 240 V, 50 Hz supply and the secondary is on open circuit. The number of turns on the primary is twice that on the secondary. A load taking 50 A at a lagging power factor 0.8 is now connected across the secondary. Sketch and explain briey the phasor diagram for this condition, neglecting the voltage drops in the transformer (i.e., neglect leakage reactances and windind resistances). What is now the value of the primary current? (5 marks) 3. A 50 kVA, 6360/240 V transformer is tested on open and short circuit to obtain its eciency, the resultsof the test being as follows: (a) Open Circuit Test: primary voltage = 6360 V; primary current = 1 A power input = 2 kW (b) Short Circuit Test: primary voltage = 180 V; seondary current = 175 A; power input = 2 kW. power input = 2 kW Draw the equivalent circuit diagram of the transformer under both tests. Find out all the parameters of the transformer. The eciency of the transformer when supplying full load at a power factor of 0.8 lagging. Phasor diagram for the above condition. (10 marks) 4. The armature resistance of a 30 kW, 440 V, shunt generator is 0.1 . Its shunt eld resistance is 200 . Find (a) The electrical power developed by armature at the rated load. (b) The load, eld, and the armature currents. (c) The electric power loss. (5 marks) 5. Find the eciency of a long shunt compound generator rated at 250 kW, 250 V when supplying 78% of rated load at rated voltage. The resistance of armature and series eld are 0.009 and 0.001 . The shunt eld current is 20 A. Take rotational losses (core or iron losses + mechanical losses) to be 3600 W. (Refer Fig. tor) 1 of Tutorial Problem Sheet - 3 for circuit diagram of long shunt compound genera(5 marks)

6. Draw a labelled diagram of the cross-section of a four pole DC shunt generator. What are the functions of the eld coils, armature, commutator, and brushes. The E.M.F generated by a four-pole DC generator is 400 V when the armature is driven at 1000 rpm. Calcultae the ux per pole if the wave-wound armature has 39 slots with 16 conductors per slot. (Note: For a wave wound armature number of parallel paths is 2) (10 marks)
