Equivalent circuit, efficiency and regulation of 5 kVA transformer
Short answer
From OC test shunt parameters referred to LV are R0 = 484 ohm and X0 = 112.96 ohm; from SC test referred to LV series parameters are Req = 0.466 ohm and Xeq = 0.954 ohm. Full-load 0.9 pf lagging efficiency is 92.97% and regulation is 8.62%.
Open-circuit and short-circuit tests on a 5 kVA, 220/400 V, 50 Hz single phase transformer gave the following results: O.C. test: 220 V, 2 A, 100 W (carried on LV side) S.C. test: 40 V, 11.4 A, 200 W (carried on HV side) Determine: i) The equivalent circuit parameters referred to LV side. ii) The efficiency and approximate regulation of the transformer at full load 0.9 pf lagging.
OC test on LV gives the shunt branch directly on LV. SC test on HV gives series values on HV, which are referred to LV by . Rated HV current A, so the SC reading at 11.4 A must be scaled to full load.
i) Equivalent circuit parameters referred to LV
OC test:
SC test (HV side):
Referred to LV:
ii) Efficiency at full load, 0.9 pf lag
Approximate regulation (on HV side, )
Answer: , , , (all LV side); efficiency = 92.97%; regulation ≈ 8.62%.
