A 60-Hz single-phase transformer with capacity of 150 kVA has the following parameters: RP = 0.35 Ω RS = 0.002 Ω Rc = 5.2 kΩ XP = 0.5 Ω XS = 0.008 Ω Xm = 1.1 kΩ The primary transformer voltage is 2.8 kV and the secondary is 230 V. The transformer is connected to a variable load (0 to 300 kW) with a lagging power factor of 0.83 and a load voltage equal to the rated transformer secondary. Determine: (a) the total input impedance of the transformer when the secondary is shorted; and (b) the input current, voltage, power and power factor at full load (150 kW). (c) Plot the voltage regulation versus load, and determine the load that produces 5% regulation.
