Question

The open circuit test and the short circuit test were performed on the primary side of a 10 kVA, 2000/240 V, 50 Hz transformer and the following data were obtained

OC test:VOC=240 V; IOC=0.6 A, POC=80 W
SC test:VSC=112 V; ISC=5 A, PSC=160 W

Find the approximate equivalent circuit referred to the primary side,

Solution

The correct option is A Req=6.4 Ω;Xeq=j21.46 Ω;RC=49.96 kΩ;Xm=j33.38 kΩ
From the given data it can be seen that, OC test is performed on the LV side. Thus the equivalent core-loss resistance as referred to the low-voltage side is

RC=240280=720Ω

The apparent power under no load ;
SOC=VOCIOC=240×0.6
=144 VA
Thus, the reactive power is
QOC=1442802
=119.73VAR

The magnetizing reactance as referred to the low voltage side is
Xm=2402119.73=481.082Ω

The core-loss resistance and the magnetizing reactance as referred to HV side are obtained as follows:

N1N2=2000240=8.33

RCHV=(8.33)2×720=49.96 kΩ
Xm HV=(8.33)2×481.082=33.378 kΩ

SC best is performed on HV side, thus

Req HV=PscI2sc=16052=6.4 Ω

Zeq HV=VscIsc=1125=22.4 Ω

Xeq HV=22.426.42=21.46 Ω
