Q.

A power transmission line feeds input power at 2.3 kV to a step down transformer with its primary winding having 3000 turns. The output power is delivered at 230 V by the transformer. The current in the primary of the transformer is 5 A and its efficiency is 90%. The winding of transformer is made of copper. The output current of transformer is _____A.                        [2024]


Ans.

(45)             0.9Pi=Pout

                   Pi=VI

                  Pi=2.3×103(5)=11.5×103 W

                  Pout=(230)i2

                  (0.9)(11.5×103)=230i2

                  i2=(0.9)(11.5×103)230=0.045×103

                  i2=45A
