Equivalent impedance and copper loss of 50 kVA transformer
Short answer
With K = 0.05, equivalent values referred to primary: R01 = 7.05 Ω, X01 = 11.2 Ω, Z01 = 13.23 Ω; referred to secondary: R02 = 0.01763 Ω, X02 = 0.028 Ω, Z02 = 0.0331 Ω. Full-load copper loss is 910.4 W.
A 50 kVA, 4400/220 V transformer has R1 = 3.45 Ω, R2 = 0.009 Ω, X1 = 5.2 Ω and X2 = 0.015 Ω. Calculate (i) equivalent resistance, reactance and impedance as referred to both primary and secondary sides (ii) total copper loss using individual resistance of the two windings and using equivalent resistances as referred to each side.
Transformation ratio , so .
(i) Equivalent resistance, reactance and impedance
Referred to primary (4400 V side):
Referred to secondary (220 V side):
Check: .
(ii) Full-load copper loss
Full-load currents:
Using individual winding resistances:
Using :
Using :
All three methods give the same value, which confirms that referring resistances through keeps the power loss unchanged.
| Quantity | Primary side | Secondary side |
|---|---|---|
| Equivalent R | 7.05 Ω | 0.01763 Ω |
| Equivalent X | 11.2 Ω | 0.028 Ω |
| Equivalent Z | 13.23 Ω | 0.0331 Ω |
| Full-load Cu loss | 910.4 W | 910.4 W |
Answer: , , ; , , ; full-load copper loss = 910.4 W by every method.
