The core loss of a single phase, 230/115 V, 50 Hz power transformer is measured from 230 V
side by feeding the primary (230 V side) from a variable voltage variable frequency source
while keeping the secondary open circuited. The core loss is measured to be 1050 W for
230 V, 50 Hz input. The core loss is again measured to be 500W for 138 V, 30 Hz input. The
hysteresis and eddy current losses of the transformer for 230 V, 50 Hz input are respectively.

The following arrangement consists of an ideal transformer and an attenuator
which attenuates by a factor of 0.8. An ac voltage VWX1 = 100V is applied across
WX to get an open circuit voltage VYZ1 across YZ. Next, an ac voltage VYZ2 =100V is
applied across YZ to get an open circuit voltage VWX2 across WX. Then,
$$\frac{V_{YZ1}}{V_{WX1}}$$, $$\frac{V_{WX2}}{V_{YZ2}}$$
are respectively,

A single phase 10 kVA, 50 Hz transformer with 1 kV primary winding draws 0.5 A and 55 W, at
rated voltage and frequency, on no load. A second transformer has a core with all its linear
dimensions $$\sqrt2$$ times the corresponding dimensions of the first transformer. The core material and
lamination thickness are the same in both transformers. The primary windings of both the
transformers have the same number of turns. If a rated voltage of 2 kV at 50 Hz is applied to the
primary of the second transformer, then the no load current and power, respectively, are

A balanced star-connected and purely resistive load is connected at the secondary
of a star-delta transformer as shown in the figure. The line-to-line voltage rating of
the transformer is 110 V/220 V. Neglecting the non-idealities of the transformer, the
impedance 'Z' of the equivalent star-connected load, referred to the primary side of
the transformer, is
