41. Question

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 




Answer
42. Question

A delta-connected 3.7 kW, 400 V (line), three-phase, 4 -pole, 50-Hz squirrel -cage induction motor has the following equivalent circuit parameters per phase refereed to the stator: R1 = 5.39Ω, R2 = 5.72Ω, X1 =X2 = 8.22Ω. Neglect shunt branch in the equivalent circuit. The starting line current in amperes (round off to two decimal places) when it is connected to a 100 V (line), 10 Hz, three-phase AC source is ______
