9) Transformer rating is given in
A) kVAR b) KW C) KVA D)Hz
10) Why transformers are used ?

Q 2 A lighting transformer rated at 10 KVA has a full load loss of 0.3 KW, which is made up equally from iron
loss and copper loss. The duty cycle consists of full load for 3hrs, half load for4 hrs and no load for remainder of
24 hrs period . If the load operates at unity power factor, calculate the all day efficiency of the transformer.
