a) infinite
b) zero
c) finite
d) negative finite
View Answer

Answer: a

4. If the per unit leakage impedance for the primary of a transformer is ‘x’ on the given rated base value. If the voltage and volt-amperes are doubled, then the changed per unit impedance will be ___________
a) 0.5x
b) 2x
c) 4x
d) x
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: pu(new base) = (x)*(MVA(new)/MVA(old))*(kV(old)/kV(new))^2
= x*2*(1/4)
= 0.5x.

5. If the per unit leakage impedance for the primary of a transformer is ‘x’ on the given rated base value. If the voltage and volt-amperes are halved, then the changed per unit impedance will be ___________
a) 0.5x
b) 2x
c) 4x
d) x
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: pu(new base) = (x)*(MVA(new)/MVA(old))*(kV(old)/kV(new))^2
= x*0.5*(4/)
= 2x.

6. The voltage regulation for transformer is given by ___________
a) (E2-V2)/E2
b) (E2-V2)/V2
c) (V2-E2)/E2
d) (V2-E2)/V2
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Voltage regulation is the change in secondary voltage with secondary rated voltage.

7. While estimating voltage regulation of a transformer, keeping ___________
a) primary voltage constant
b) secondary voltage constant
c) voltage changes constant at primary
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: V.R. is calculated keeping the primary constant because then the core flux will change and the change of secondary voltage can not be fixed.

b) 2.2%
c) -3.8%
d) -2.2%
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: V.R. = (r(pu)*cosθ+x(pu)*sinθ)*100 % = (0.01*0.8 + 0.05*0.6)*100 = 3.8%.
