A single-phase transformer has 500 turns on the primary and 40 turns on the secondary winding. The mean length of the magnetic path in the iron core is 150 cm and the joints are equivalent to an air-gap of 0.1 mm. When a p.d. of 3,000 V is applied to the primary, maximum flux density is 1.2 Wb/m². Calculate (a) the cross-sectional area of the core (b) no-load secondary voltage (c) the no-load current drawn by the primary (d) power factor on no-load. Given that AT/cm for a flux density of 1.2 Wb/m² in iron to be 5, the corresponding iron loss to be 2 watt/kg at 50 Hz and the density of iron as 7.8 gram/cm³.
