6. A single-phase transformer has 2400 turns on the primary and 600 turns on
the secondary. Its no-load current is 4A at a power factor of 0.25 lagging.
Assuming the volt drop in the windings is negligible, calculate the primary
current and power factor when the secondary current is 80A at a power
factor of 0.8 lagging.

7. A transformer has 1200 primary turns and 200 secondary turns. The
primary and secondary resistances are 0.2 and 0.02 respectively and
the corresponding leakage reactances are 1.2 and 0.05 respectively.
Calculate:
a. The equivalent resistance, reactance and impedance referred to the
primary winding [0.92 , 3.0 , 3.14 ]
b. The phase angle of the impedance [72.950]

9. A single-phase transformer has a voltage ratio of 6:1 and the h.v winding
is supply at 540V. The secondary winding provides a full load current of
30A at a power factor of 0.8 lagging. Neglecting losses, find:
a. The rating of the transformer [2.7kVA]
b. The power supplied to the load [2.16kW]
c. The primary current [5A]
Assume that iron losses are 200W and the full-load copper loss is 300W.
12. A 250 kVA transformer has a full-load copper loss of 3kW and the iron
loss of 2kW. Calculate:
a. The output kVA at which the efficiency of the transformer is a
maximum [204.1kVA]
b. The maximum efficiency, assuming the power factor of the load is
0.80. [97.61%]
