Secondary voltage, regulation, pf for max regulation
Short answer
Refer all impedances to the secondary; equivalent series values are 0.42 Ω and 0.93 Ω. At 20 A and 0.8 pf lagging, secondary terminal voltage is about 382 V, so regulation is 4.5%. Maximum regulation occurs at cosφ = 0.412 lagging, giving VRmax = 5.1%.
A 10 kVA, single phase transformer for 2500/500 V has , , , . Determine the appropriate value of secondary voltage and % voltage regulation at full load, 0.8 pf lagging, when primary applied voltage is 2000 V. Also calculate the power factor for maximum regulation.
Given: 10 kVA, 2500/500 V, , , , , V, load pf lagging at full load.
Refer everything to the secondary (, ):
Full-load current and no-load secondary voltage
Since the exciting current is neglected, the secondary no-load voltage is 400 V with the 2000 V supply.
Secondary terminal voltage (with , ). Using as reference:
Percentage regulation
(The approximate formula gives .)
Power factor for maximum regulation
Regulation is greatest when , i.e.
The maximum regulation is .
Answer: V; regulation ; pf for maximum regulation lagging (VR)
