Answer the following questions if the secondary side noload voltages are different, i.e. 415 V and
407 V, respectively, and the load is 1200 KVA at 400 V with 0.85 pf lagging. Other rating of the
transformers will remain same as Q2.
(a) Calculate circulating current.
(b) Current, kVA, kW shared by each transformer.
(c) Calculate pf of each transformer.
(d) Draw the phasor diagram of voltage and current of each transformer.
3) Three 100 MVA single-phase transformers, rated at 13.8 kV /66.4 kV, are to be connected in a three
phase bank. Each transformer has a equivalent series impedance of (0.0045 +j0.19) Ω referred to its
13.8 kV winding.
