Question: QUESTION 3 A ( 1 0 mathrm { kVA } , 1 2 0 / 4 8 0 mathrm { ~V }

QUESTION 3
A \(10\mathrm{kVA},120/480\mathrm{~V}\) single-phase transformer is to be used as an autotransformer to supply a 480 V circuit from a 600 V source. When it is tested as a two-winding transformer at a rated load, the unity power factor its efficiency is 0.979.
(a) Determine its kVA rating as an autotransformer.
(b) Find its efficiency as an autotransformer at full load with 0.85 power factor lagging.
QUESTION 4
a. In Figure 4 a is shown an autotransformer used to supply a load of 2 kW at 230 V from a 400 V a.c. supply. Find the currents in parts AC and BC , neglecting losses and no-load current. Also, find the copper saving percent due to the use of an autotransformer instead of using a winding transformer: Assume purely resistive load.
b. A \(10\mathrm{kVA},230/110\mathrm{~V}\) transformer is to be used as an autotransformer. What will be the voltage ratio and output rating of an autotransformer?
