1. Figures (a) and (b) show two possible connections for a 20 kVA, 2300/230V transformer to be used as an
autotransformer. With a source voltage of 2300 V, calculate the kVA rating and the power output at full
load of unity power factor (p.f=1) of the autotransformer for both the connections.

SOLUTION:
Each transformer is 10 kVA 20kV / 200V .
The high-voltage side is , thus the high-voltage side voltage rating is 20 kV and the high-voltage
side current rating is 1.732*(10 kVA)/(20 kV) = 0.866 A.
The low-voltage side is Y, thus the low-voltage side voltage rating is 1.732*200 V = 346 V and the
low-voltage side current rating is (10 kVA)/(200 V) = 50 A.
The 3-phase transfermors core loss = 3 * 50 W = 150 W.
The 3-phase transfermors winding loss = 3 * 100 W = 300 W.
