Question: A two-winding single-phase transformer rated 60 k V A , 240 / 1200 V , 60 H z 60 k V A , 240 /
A two-winding single-phase transformer rated 60kVA,240/1200 V,60 Hz, has an efficiency of 0.96 when operated at rated load, 0.8 power factor lagging. This transformer is to be utilized as a 1440/1200-V step-down autotransformer in a power distribution system.
(a) Find the permissible kVA rating of the autotransformer if the winding currents and voltages are not to exceed the ratings as a two-winding transformer. Assume an ideal transformer.
(b) Determine the efficiency of the autotransformer with the kVA loading of part (a) and 0.8 power factor leading.
