A 25kVA 3300230 V 50 Hz single phase transformer draws no lo
Solution
let us start with the data
we have 25kva transformer and voltage rating 3300/230 V
this means supply end voltage is 3300V and load side voltage is 230V
it drags no load current of 15A and consumes 350W when excited on load voltage side
this means we are excited from 230 voltage side and 3300 side is open circuited and no load current and power are measured from the low voltage side
here we need to find no load componets i.e magnetising component Im and working or core component Ic
No load power
V0*I0*Cos pie0 = 350W
here V0 = 230V I0 = 15A
230*15*Cos pie0 = 350 W
Cos pie0 = 350/(230*15)
= 0.10144
pie0 = Cos-1 (0.10144)
= 1.469 radians
i.e Sin pie0 = Sin (1.469)
= 0.9948 radians
now magnestising component Im = I0 * Sin pie0
= 15* 0.9948
= 14.922 A
working or core component Ic = I0 * Cos pie0
= 15 * 0.10144
= 1.5216A
so finally the two components are currents are Ic = 1.5216A and Im= 14.922 A
