Question: A 5 0 0 - kVA, 3 0 / 1 0 - kV , 5 0 - Hz , single - phase transformer has the

A 500-kVA, 30/10-kV,50-Hz, single-phase transformer has the high-voltage winding resistance of 18 and the low-voltage winding resistance of 4. Use the approximate equivalent circuit referred to the low voltage side to do the calculations. (a) Determine the total copper loss of the transformer at full load. [Ans: 15 kW](b) If the total core loss of the transformer is 10 kW, estimate the efficiency of the transformer at half load at 0.85 lagging power factor. [Ans: 93.92%](c) What is the maximum efficiency of the transformer at 0.85 lagging power factor? [Ans: 94.55%]
