  1. 0.22 Ω
  2. 0.16 Ω
  3. 0.09 Ω
  4. 0.11 Ω

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 0.11 Ω

Percentage Impedance Question 1 Detailed Solution

Concept

The equivalent resistance referred to the LV side is given by:

\(R_{eq}={R_{LV}}\space +\space {R_{HV}\over n^2}\)

where, n = Turn ratio

The turn ratio of the transformer is given by:

\(n={N_H\over N_L}\)

Calculation

Given, n = 2

RLV = 0.06 Ω

RHV = 0.2 Ω

\(R_{eq}={0.06}\space +\space {0.2\over (2)^2}\)

Req = 0.11 Ω

Percentage Impedance Question 2:

  1. 2.8
  2. 3.6
  3. 7.4
  4. 14.7 

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 14.7 

Percentage Impedance Question 2 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Line voltage = √3 VPh

Where,

VPh → Voltage in each phase.

All line voltages are equal in magnitude and are displaced by 120°, and

All line voltages are 30° ahead of their respective phase voltages.

total power = 3 x power in each phase.

Power in each phase = VPh2/(2× Z)

Where;

Z → Impedance 

Calculation:

Given;

Total power = 1.8 kW

Power factor = 0.5

Line voltage = 230 V

Phase voltage (VPh) = 230/√3 

Power in each phase = 1.8/3 = 0.6 kW

Then;

   V2Ph/(2× Z) = 0.6 kW

⇒(230/√3 )2/(2 × Z) = 0.6 kW

∴ Z = 14.7 Ω
