5 kVA 220/400 V efficiency and regulation
Short answer
Voltage regulation at full load, 0.9 pf lagging, is approximately 8.85%. Efficiency = 4500 / (4500 + Pi + 240.5), which gives 92.97% for an assumed iron loss Pi = 100 W.
Open circuit and Short circuit test on 5 kVA, 220/400 V, 50 Hz, single phase transformer gave the following results. Short circuit test (on H.V. side): 40 V, 11.4 A, 200 watts [Open circuit test data is not printed in the paper] Determine the efficiency and the voltage regulation of the transformer at full load at 0.9 pf lagging.
Given: 5 kVA, 220/400 V. The SC test is on the HV side: 40 V, 11.4 A, 200 W. The open circuit data is not printed, so the core loss cannot be calculated from the question. I derive the voltage regulation (which needs only the SC test) and give the efficiency with left as a symbol, followed by a worked value for an assumed .
Equivalent impedance from the SC test (HV side)
Voltage regulation at full load, 0.9 pf lagging
Rated HV current: A, , .
Taking the no-load voltage as 400 V, the full-load terminal voltage follows from , which gives V, so
(The approximate formula gives .)
Efficiency at full load, 0.9 pf lagging
The SC test current (11.4 A) is slightly below the rated 12.5 A, so the full-load copper loss is
For example, if the OC test had given W, then . For any other core loss, substitute it in the formula above.
Answer: voltage regulation (lagging); efficiency , which is 92.97% for W
