QUESTION 1: TRANSFORMERS

1.1: Four methods of reducing leakage fluxes in a transformer are:

  • Interleaving of primary and secondary windings.
  • Using concentric windings.
  • Sectionalizing the windings.
  • Using shell-type core construction.

1.2: Given:
Primary voltage V1=230 VV_1 = 230 \text{ V}
Load resistance RL=200ΩR_L = 200 \Omega
Load reactance XL=100ΩX_L = 100 \Omega
Turns ratio N2/N1=4N_2/N_1 = 4
Equivalent primary resistance Req1=0.1ΩR_{eq1} = 0.1 \Omega
Equivalent primary leakage reactance Xeq1=0.5ΩX_{eq1} = 0.5 \Omega

  1. Calculate the load impedance referred to the primary side.

    The turns ratio a=N1/N2=1/4a = N_1/N_2 = 1/4.
    The load impedance is ZL=RL+jXL=200+j100ΩZ_L = R_L + jX_L = 200 + j100 \Omega.
    The load impedance referred to the primary is ZL1=a2ZLZ_{L1} = a^2 Z_L.

    ZL1=(14)2(200+j100)=116(200+j100)=12.5+j6.25ΩZ_{L1} = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2 (200 + j100) = \frac{1}{16} (200 + j100) = 12.5 + j6.25 \Omega

    The total equivalent impedance referred to the primary is Ztotal,1=Req1+jXeq1+ZL1Z_{total,1} = R_{eq1} + jX_{eq1} + Z_{L1}.

    Ztotal,1=(0.1+j0.5)+(12.5+j6.25)=(0.1+12.5)+j(0.5+6.25)=12.6+j6.75ΩZ_{total,1} = (0.1 + j0.5) + (12.5 + j6.25) = (0.1 + 12.5) + j(0.5 + 6.25) = 12.6 + j6.75 \Omega

    The magnitude of the total equivalent impedance is:

    ∣Ztotal,1∣=12.62+6.752=158.76+45.5625=204.3225≈14.294Ω|Z_{total,1}| = \sqrt{12.6^2 + 6.75^2} = \sqrt{158.76 + 45.5625} = \sqrt{204.3225} \approx 14.294 \Omega

    1.2.1: The primary circulating current (I1I_1).
    The primary current is I1=V1/Ztotal,1I_1 = V_1 / Z_{total,1}.

    I1=230 V12.6+j6.75ΩI_1 = \frac{230 \text{ V}}{12.6 + j6.75 \Omega} I1=23014.294∠arctan⁡(6.7512.6)=23014.294∠28.18∘≈16.09∠−28.18∘ AI_1 = \frac{230}{14.294 \angle \arctan\left(\frac{6.75}{12.6}\right)} = \frac{230}{14.294 \angle 28.18^\circ} \approx 16.09 \angle -28.18^\circ \text{ A}

    The magnitude of the primary circulating current is:

    16.09 A\boxed{\text{16.09 A}}

    1.2.2: The per unit regulation of the transformer.
    The power factor angle ϕ\phi is the angle of Ztotal,1Z_{total,1}, so ϕ=28.18∘\phi = 28.18^\circ.
    cos⁡ϕ=cos⁡(28.18∘)≈0.8815\cos \phi = \cos(28.18^\circ) \approx 0.8815
    sin⁡ϕ=sin⁡(28.18∘)≈0.4722\sin \phi = \sin(28.18^\circ) \approx 0.4722
    The voltage regulation (VR) is given by:

    VR=I1(Req1cos⁡ϕ+Xeq1sin⁡ϕ)V1VR = \frac{I_1 (R_{eq1} \cos \phi + X_{eq1} \sin \phi)}{V_1} VR=16.09(0.1×0.8815+0.5×0.4722)230VR = \frac{16.09 (0.1 \times 0.8815 + 0.5 \times 0.4722)}{230} VR=16.09(0.08815+0.2361)230=16.09×0.32425230=5.218230≈0.02268VR = \frac{16.09 (0.08815 + 0.2361)}{230} = \frac{16.09 \times 0.32425}{230} = \frac{5.218}{230} \approx 0.02268

    The per unit regulation is:

    0.02268 pu\boxed{\text{0.02268 pu}}

    1.2.3: The secondary terminal voltage (V2V_2).
    The voltage across the load referred to the primary is VL1=I1ZL1V_{L1} = I_1 Z_{L1}.

    ZL1=12.5+j6.25=12.52+6.252∠arctan⁡(6.2512.5)=13.975∠26.565∘ΩZ_{L1} = 12.5 + j6.25 = \sqrt{12.5^2 + 6.25^2} \angle \arctan\left(\frac{6.25}{12.5}\right) = 13.975 \angle 26.565^\circ \Omega VL1=(16.09∠−28.18∘)×(13.975∠26.565∘)V_{L1} = (16.09 \angle -28.18^\circ) \times (13.975 \angle 26.565^\circ) VL1=(16.09×13.975)∠(−28.18∘+26.565∘)=224.86∠−1.615∘ VV_{L1} = (16.09 \times 13.975) \angle (-28.18^\circ + 26.565^\circ) = 224.86 \angle -1.615^\circ \text{ V}

    The secondary terminal voltage V2V_2 is related to VL1V_{L1} by the turns ratio N2/N1=4N_2/N_1 = 4.

    V2=VL1×N2N1=224.86×4∠−1.615∘=899.44∠−1.615∘ VV_2 = V_{L1} \times \frac{N_2}{N_1} = 224.86 \times 4 \angle -1.615^\circ = 899.44 \angle -1.615^\circ \text{ V}

    The magnitude of the secondary terminal voltage is:

    899.44 V\boxed{\text{899.44 V}}

    QUESTION 2: MEASUREMENT OF POWER IN THREE PHASE SYSTEMS

    2.1: Given:
    Line voltage VL=440 VV_L = 440 \text{ V}
    Frequency f=50 Hzf = 50 \text{ Hz}
    Star connected load
    Impedance per phase z=5.2+j6.7Ω/phasez = 5.2 + j6.7 \Omega / phase

  2. Calculate phase voltage, phase current, and power factor.

    For a star-connected load, the phase voltage Vp=VL/3V_p = V_L / \sqrt{3}.

    Vp=4403≈254.03 VV_p = \frac{440}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 254.03 \text{ V}

    The magnitude of the impedance per phase is ∣z∣=5.22+6.72|z| = \sqrt{5.2^2 + 6.7^2}.

    ∣z∣=27.04+44.89=71.93≈8.481Ω|z| = \sqrt{27.04 + 44.89} = \sqrt{71.93} \approx 8.481 \Omega

    The phase current Ip=Vp/∣z∣I_p = V_p / |z|.

    Ip=254.038.481≈29.95 AI_p = \frac{254.03}{8.481} \approx 29.95 \text{ A}

    For a star connection, the line current IL=Ip≈29.95 AI_L = I_p \approx 29.95 \text{ A}.
    The power factor angle ϕ=arctan⁡(X/R)=arctan⁡(6.7/5.2)≈52.17∘\phi = \arctan(X/R) = \arctan(6.7/5.2) \approx 52.17^\circ.
    The power factor cos⁡ϕ=cos⁡(52.17∘)≈0.613\cos \phi = \cos(52.17^\circ) \approx 0.613.

    2.1.1: The total power of the load (PTP_T).
    The total power for a three-phase system is PT=3VLILcos⁡ϕP_T = \sqrt{3} V_L I_L \cos \phi.

    PT=3×440 V×29.95 A×0.613P_T = \sqrt{3} \times 440 \text{ V} \times 29.95 \text{ A} \times 0.613 PT=13979.8 W≈13.98 kWP_T = 13979.8 \text{ W} \approx 13.98 \text{ kW}

    The total power of the load is:

    13.98 kW\boxed{\text{13.98 kW}}

    2.1.2: The readings on watt-meters, if two-wattmeter method is used to measure the power taken by the load.
    The two wattmeter readings are W1=VLILcos⁡(30∘−ϕ)W_1 = V_L I_L \cos(30^\circ - \phi) and W2=VLILcos⁡(30∘+ϕ)W_2 = V_L I_L \cos(30^\circ + \phi).
    Here ϕ=52.17∘\phi = 52.17^\circ.
    30∘−ϕ=30∘−52.17∘=−22.17∘30^\circ - \phi = 30^\circ - 52.17^\circ = -22.17^\circ
    30∘+ϕ=30∘+52.17∘=82.17∘30^\circ + \phi = 30^\circ + 52.17^\circ = 82.17^\circ

    W1=440×29.95×cos⁡(−22.17∘)=440×29.95×0.926≈12200 WW_1 = 440 \times 29.95 \times \cos(-22.17^\circ) = 440 \times 29.95 \times 0.926 \approx 12200 \text{ W} W2=440×29.95×cos⁡(82.17∘)=440×29.95×0.136≈1792 WW_2 = 440 \times 29.95 \times \cos(82.17^\circ) = 440 \times 29.95 \times 0.136 \approx 1792 \text{ W}

    The readings on the wattmeters are:

    W1=12200 W, W2=1792 W\boxed{W_1 = \text{12200 W, } W_2 = \text{1792 W}}

    2.2: Calculate the resistance per phase of a three phase l=28 kml = 28 \text{ km}, overhead line with solid conductors of D=1.8 cmD = 1.8 \text{ cm} diameter, with a symmetrical spacing of d=0.8 md = 0.8 \text{ m} between centres. Take resistivity of the conductor material as ρ=1.7 μΩ cm\rho = 1.7 \text{ } \mu \Omega \text{ cm}.

  3. Convert units and calculate the cross-sectional area.

    Length l=28 km=28×105 cml = 28 \text{ km} = 28 \times 10^5 \text{ cm}.
    Diameter D=1.8 cmD = 1.8 \text{ cm}, so radius r=D/2=0.9 cmr = D/2 = 0.9 \text{ cm}.
    Resistivity ρ=1.7 μΩ cm=1.7×10−6Ω cm\rho = 1.7 \text{ } \mu \Omega \text{ cm} = 1.7 \times 10^{-6} \Omega \text{ cm}.
    The cross-sectional area A=πr2A = \pi r^2.

    A=π(0.9 cm)2=0.81π cm2A = \pi (0.9 \text{ cm})^2 = 0.81 \pi \text{ cm}^2
  4. Calculate the resistance per phase.

    The resistance RphaseR_{phase} is given by the formula R=ρlAR = \rho \frac{l}{A}.

    Rphase=(1.7×10−6Ω cm)×28×105 cm0.81π cm2R_{phase} = (1.7 \times 10^{-6} \Omega \text{ cm}) \times \frac{28 \times 10^5 \text{ cm}}{0.81 \pi \text{ cm}^2} Rphase=1.7×280.81πΩ=47.62.54469Ω≈18.705ΩR_{phase} = \frac{1.7 \times 28}{0.81 \pi} \Omega = \frac{47.6}{2.54469} \Omega \approx 18.705 \Omega

    The resistance per phase is:

    18.71 Ω\boxed{\text{18.71 } \Omega}

    QUESTION 3: AC MACHINES

    3.1: Given:
    Synchronous impedance per phase Zs=1+j6.5Ω/phaseZ_s = 1 + j6.5 \Omega / phase.
    Open circuit line voltage of one alternator E1,line=2.2 kV=2200 VE_{1,line} = 2.2 \text{ kV} = 2200 \text{ V}.
    Circulating current IC=80 AI_C = 80 \text{ A}.
    Machines are star-connected and in exact phase opposition.

  5. Calculate phase values and magnitude of synchronous impedance.

    The phase voltage of the first alternator is E1,phase=E1,line/3E_{1,phase} = E_{1,line} / \sqrt{3}.

    E1,phase=22003≈1270.17 VE_{1,phase} = \frac{2200}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 1270.17 \text{ V}

    The magnitude of the synchronous impedance is ∣Zs∣=12+6.52|Z_s| = \sqrt{1^2 + 6.5^2}.

    ∣Zs∣=1+42.25=43.25≈6.576Ω|Z_s| = \sqrt{1 + 42.25} = \sqrt{43.25} \approx 6.576 \Omega

    3.1.1: The open circuit voltage of the other machine (E2E_2) assuming it is bigger than that of the first machine.
    When two alternators are in parallel and in exact phase opposition, the circulating current ICI_C is given by:

    IC=E2,phase−E1,phase2ZsI_C = \frac{E_{2,phase} - E_{1,phase}}{2Z_s}

    This formula assumes E1E_1 and E2E_2 are in phase, and E2>E1E_2 > E_1. However, "exact phase opposition" means E1E_1 and E2E_2 are 180∘180^\circ out of phase.
    Let E1=E1,phase∠0∘E_1 = E_{1,phase} \angle 0^\circ and E2=E2,phase∠180∘E_2 = E_{2,phase} \angle 180^\circ.
    The voltage difference driving the circulating current is E1−E2=E1,phase−(−E2,phase)=E1,phase+E2,phaseE_1 - E_2 = E_{1,phase} - (-E_{2,phase}) = E_{1,phase} + E_{2,phase}.
    The magnitude of the circulating current is ∣IC∣=E1,phase+E2,phase2∣Zs∣|I_C| = \frac{E_{1,phase} + E_{2,phase}}{2|Z_s|}.

    80 A=1270.17 V+E2,phase2×6.576Ω80 \text{ A} = \frac{1270.17 \text{ V} + E_{2,phase}}{2 \times 6.576 \Omega} 80×(2×6.576)=1270.17+E2,phase80 \times (2 \times 6.576) = 1270.17 + E_{2,phase} 1052.16=1270.17+E2,phase1052.16 = 1270.17 + E_{2,phase} E2,phase=1052.16−1270.17=−218.01 VE_{2,phase} = 1052.16 - 1270.17 = -218.01 \text{ V}

    This result is negative, which contradicts the assumption that E2E_2 is bigger than E1E_1. This indicates that the problem statement "exact phase opposition" might be interpreted differently in the context of the given circulating current value, or there's an inconsistency in the problem data.
    A common scenario for circulating current in parallel alternators is due to a phase difference between EMFs, or a difference in magnitudes when EMFs are in phase. If they are in "exact phase opposition", it usually means they are 180∘180^\circ out of phase.
    If the circulating current is IC=E1−E22ZsI_C = \frac{E_1 - E_2}{2Z_s} where E1E_1 and E2E_2 are phasors, and E1=E1,phase∠0∘E_1 = E_{1,phase} \angle 0^\circ and E2=E2,phase∠180∘E_2 = E_{2,phase} \angle 180^\circ, then E1−E2=E1,phase−(−E2,phase)=E1,phase+E2,phaseE_1 - E_2 = E_{1,phase} - (-E_{2,phase}) = E_{1,phase} + E_{2,phase}.
    The magnitude of this voltage difference is E1,phase+E2,phaseE_{1,phase} + E_{2,phase}.
    The magnitude of ICI_C is 80 A80 \text{ A}.
    ∣IC∣=E1,phase+E2,phase2∣Zs∣|I_C| = \frac{E_{1,phase} + E_{2,phase}}{2|Z_s|}.
    This leads to E2,phase=−218.01 VE_{2,phase} = -218.01 \text{ V}, which is not physically possible for a magnitude.

    Let's assume "exact phase opposition" means that the resultant voltage causing the circulating current is E2−E1E_2 - E_1 (phasor difference), and the problem implies that E1E_1 and E2E_2 are in phase but with different magnitudes, and the "phase opposition" refers to the current flow. This is a common source of confusion.
    If E1E_1 and E2E_2 are in phase, and E2>E1E_2 > E_1, then IC=E2,phase−E1,phase2ZsI_C = \frac{E_{2,phase} - E_{1,phase}}{2Z_s}.
    ∣IC∣=E2,phase−E1,phase2∣Zs∣|I_C| = \frac{E_{2,phase} - E_{1,phase}}{2|Z_s|}.

    80=E2,phase−1270.172×6.57680 = \frac{E_{2,phase} - 1270.17}{2 \times 6.576} 1052.16=E2,phase−1270.171052.16 = E_{2,phase} - 1270.17 E2,phase=1052.16+1270.17=2322.33 VE_{2,phase} = 1052.16 + 1270.17 = 2322.33 \text{ V}

    This value is positive and greater than E1,phaseE_{1,phase}, consistent with the problem statement.
    The open circuit line voltage of the other machine is E2,line=E2,phase×3E_{2,line} = E_{2,phase} \times \sqrt{3}.

    E2,line=2322.33×3≈4021.9 VE_{2,line} = 2322.33 \times \sqrt{3} \approx 4021.9 \text{ V}

    The open circuit voltage of the other machine is:

    4.022 kV\boxed{\text{4.022 kV}}

    3.1.2: The terminal voltage (line value).
    The terminal voltage VTV_T (phase value) is the voltage at the busbar. It can be calculated using either alternator's EMF and circulating current.
