34.MET February 2019 Q.6(B)

February 21, 2019 Posted by AK 5 comments
In a 25 KVA, 3300/233 V, single phase transformer, the iron and full-load Cu. losses are respectively 350 and 400 watts. Calculate the efficiency at half-full load 0.8 power factor.

               If you are noticing some error in problems kindly comment below.Thanks


Given

KVA = 25
V1 = 3300 
V2 = 233 
Iron loss = 350 W
F.L Cu loss = 400 w
Cos Φ = 0.8

To find

1.Half load efficiency
2.Full load efficiency

Solution

1. Full load output at 0.8 pf = 25 x 0.8
                                            = 20 KW

    At half load output = 20 / 2
                                  = 10 KW

    
    Cu loss at half load is 1/4th of that full load.
    At half load Cu loss = 400 / 4
                                    = 100 W
                                    = 0.1 KW
    
    Iron loss remains same = 0.35 KW

    Efficiency = Output / (Output + Cu loss + Iron loss)
    
    Half load efficiency = H.L output / (H.L output + H.L Cu loss + Iron loss)
                                   = 10 / (10 + 0.1 + 0.35 )
    Half load efficiency = 95.69 %

2. Full load efficiency = F.L output / (F.L output + F.L Cu loss + Iron loss)
                                   = 20 / (20 + 0.4 + 0.35)
    Full load efficiency  = 96.38 %

  1. Why Cu loss is multiplied with ¼.?
    When u calculate efficiency at half load..!

    Where it is mentioned this.?

  2. You can use formula directly

    Efficiency = (X x KVA x COS¢) ÷ { (X x KVA x COS¢) + FE loss + (X^2 x Cu Loss)}

    Where X=1 when efficiency@Full load.

    Where X=½ when efficiency@Half load.

    Direct method.

  3. Cu loss directly proportional to square of current. So load is halved then cu poss will be 1 by 4th.

  4. efficiency formula is output/input know??

    1. yes correct. here in the problem input = output + F.L Cu loss + Iron loss. both are same.
