Question 1 |
A single-phase 100 kVA, 1000 V / 100 V, 50 Hz transformer has a voltage drop of 5% across its series impedance at full load. Of this, 3% is due to resistance. The percentage regulation of the transformer at full load with 0.8 lagging power factor is

6.8 | |
8.8 | |
10.8 |
Question 1 Explanation:
Percent voltage regulation
=\left ( \frac{I_2R_{02}}{E_2} \times 100 \right )\cos \phi _2\pm \left ( \frac{I_2X_{02}}{E_2} \times 100 \right ) \sin \phi _2
\% \; VR.=V_r \cos \phi _2\pm V_x \sin \phi _2
(where, '+' lag p.f. and '-' lead p.f.)
At full load:
Given, V_r=3\%
Impedance drop, V_z=5\%
\therefore \; Reluctance drop, V_x=\sqrt{5^2-3^2}=4\%
Voltage regulation at full load at 0.8 p.f. lagging
V.R.=3(0.8)+4(0.6)=4.8\%

Question 2 Explanation:
Salient pole synchronous motor power and torque relations per phase:
P=\frac{E_bV}{X_t}\sin \delta +\frac{V^2}{2}\left ( \frac{X_d-X_q}{X_dX_q} \right ) \sin (2\delta ) \;Watts
T=\frac{60}{2 \pi N_S}\left [ \frac{E_bV}{X_d} \sin \delta + \frac{V^2}{2}\left ( \frac{X_d-X_q}{X_dX_q} \right ) \sin (2\delta ) \right ]\; N-m
The second term is reluctance power or reluctance torque, which is directly proportional to \sin 2\delta.
Therefore, reluctance torque will be maximum.
When, \delta =45^{\circ}
\because \;\;\sin2 (45^{\circ})\Rightarrow \sin 90^{\circ}=1 (Maximum)
