Electrical Machines Questions and Answers – Parallel Operation of Single Phase Transformers

Posted on May 19, 2017 by Manish

This set of Electrical Machines Problems focuses on “Parallel Operation of Single Phase Transformers”.

1. A 2000/1000/500 three winding transformer is to be used as auto transformer with supply of 3000 V. Two loads of 1050 kVA at 3500V, and other one at 180 kVA at 1000V. The circuit representing the mentioned application is
a) electrical-machines-problems-q1a
b) electrical-machines-problems-q1b
c) electrical-machines-problems-q1c
d)electrical-machines-problems-q1d
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Current due to load of 1050 kVA = 1050*1000/3500 = 300A
Current due to 180 kVA = 180*1000/1000 = 180A.

2. Transformer operating in parallel will share a common load in the best possible manner if
a) leakage impedances are proportional to their kVA rating
b) pu leakage impedances are equal
c) leakage impedances are equal
d) any of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: For same pu leakage impedance, parallel operation of transformers become feasible.

3. A 2000/1000/500 three winding transformer is to be used as auto transformer with supply of 3000 V. Two loads of 1050 kVA at 3500V,
and other one at 180 kVA at 1000V. The total kVA supplied will be
a) 1230 kVA
b) 1440 kVA
c) 1680 kVA
d) 1150 kVA
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Total kVA = 1050+180 = 1230 kVA.

4. Which if the conditions is must be fulfilled for a satisfactory parallel operation of transformers?
a) Same voltage ratio
b) Leakage impedances should be inversely proportional to kVA of the transformer
c) Same pu impedance
d) Correct polarity
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: out of all, polarity must be correct for the connected transformers.

5. A. Positive sequence components – 5th harmonic component
B. Negative sequence components – 7th harmonic component
C. Zero sequence components – 3rd harmonic component
Above are the matching made for the harmonics and the associated harmonic component, then the correct marking is
a) A,B,C
b) C
c) A,B
d) B,C
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: 3m-1 phases are displaced 120° in opposite and (3m+1) in the same direction as the fundamental. Here ‘m’ is even integer. So 5th harmonic is in negative sequence and 7th harmonic component in positive sequence.

6. Two single phase transformers A and B are operating in parallel having same impedance. But the x/r ratio of them are not equal. Then total kVA output of the output will be
a) less than sum of kVA of A and B
b) more than sum of kVA of A and B
c) equal to sum of kVA of A and B
d) any of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: As the leakage reactances are not same for both the transformers, then Ia < I2 and Ib < I/2.
So the kVA will also be less than sum of individual A and B.

7. Two single phase transformers A and B are operating in parallel having same impedance. But the x/r ratio of them are not equal and xa > xb. Then
a) A has poorer pf than B
b) B has poorer pf than B
c) lesser power factor angle
d) both operate at same power factor
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: As xa > xb, leakage impedance angle of A will be more than that of B, so lesser power factor.

8. Two single phase transformers A and B are operating in parallel having different impedance and identical x/r ratio. Then
a) A has poorer pf than B
b) B has poorer pf than B
c) lesser power factor angle
d) both operate at same power factor
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: As the x/r is same, this supports that they should have same leakage impedance angles.

9. Two single phase transformers A and B are operating in parallel having different impedance and identical x/r ratio. Also impedance of A is more than that of B,then A
a) shares lesser kVA
b) share more kVA
c) equal kVA as of B
d) total kVA
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Given that, za is more than zb, so Ia will be lesser than Ib, With Ea = Eb, kVA(A) shared by A will more than kVA(B).

10. Two single phase transformers A and B are operating in parallel having different impedance and identical x/r ratio. Also impedance of A is more than that of B,then
a) Za/Zb = Sb/Sa
b) Za/Zb = Sa/Sb
c) Za/Zb = 1
d) Za/Zb = (Sb/Sa)2
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Leakage impedance in ‘ohms’ are inverse ratio of their respective kVA ratings.

11. Two single phase transformers A and B are operating in parallel having different impedance and identical x/r ratio. Impedance of A is Za and impedance of B is Zb , both sharing a load of Sl. Then the load shared by transformer A is
a) Sl*(Zb/(Za+Zb))
b) Sl*(Za/(Za+Zb))
c) Sl*(Zb*Za/(Za+Zb))
d) Sl*(Zb+Za/Zb))
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The load sharing is based on the inverse of the kVA rating.

12. Two single phase transformers A and B are operating in parallel having different impedance and identical x/r ratio. Impedance of A is Za and impedance of B is Zb , both sharing a load of Sl. Then the load shared by transformer B is
a) Sl*(Zb/(Za+Zb))
b) Sl*(Za/(Za+Zb))
c) Sl*(Zb*Za/(Za+Zb))
d) Sl*(Zb+Za/Zb))
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The load sharing is based on the inverse of the kVA rating.

13. Operating transformers in parallel gives the advantage of
a) reliable loading

16. For a delta-star three phase transformer,if the transformation ratio is ‘x:1’, then how much percent of output will be improved?
a) 73%
b) 57%
c) 173%
d) 157%
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Line voltage in the output will be (1.73*V/x ), so the additional voltage will be (173-100/100)*100% = 73%.

17. For a star-delta three phase transformer,if the transformation ratio is ‘x:1’, then how much percent of output will be ?
a) 73%
b) 57%
c) 173%
d) 157%
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Line voltage in the output will be (V/1.73*x ).

18. Identify the correct order for the voltage transformation for the three-phase transformers.
a) D-Y > D-D = Y-Y > Y-D
b) D-Y > D-D > Y-Y > Y-D
c) D-Y > D-D = Y-Y < Y-D
d) D-Y > D-D < Y-Y < Y-D
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Delta to star has maximum(173%) voltage transformation while star to delta is least(57%). Y-Y and D-D have deviation of voltage levels.
