Question: A 1 0 kVA, 2 4 0 0 / 3 4 7 V , 6 0 Hz , single phase transformer has the following equivalent

A 10 kVA, 2400/347 V,60 Hz, single phase transformer has the following equivalent circuit parameters, where the subscripts H and L refer to the High and Low voltage sides respectively.
(b)
High Voltage side
Low voltage side
=5.16=4.30=51=29
=0.095=0.090
A 5 kW with a lagging power factor of 0.5 is connected to the low-voltage terminals of the transformer. Assuming rated voltage across the load:
(i)
Calculate the current and voltage on the high-voltage side and the voltage regulation of the transformer (5mks).
(ii)
Explain why you can neglect the excitation branch in your calculations (2mks).
(iii)
Determine the transformer efficiency (2mks).
(iv)
Calculate the reactive power consumed by the transformer and indicate its proportion in % with respect to the total apparent power drawn from the supply (4mks).
