The mean thickness and variance of silicon steel laminations are 0.2 mm and 0.02
respectively. The varnish insulation is applied on both the sides of the laminations. The mean
thickness of one side insulation and its variance are 0.1 mm and 0.01 respectively. If the
transformer core is made using 100 such varnish coated laminations, the mean thickness and
variance of the core respectively are

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,
