Question:Does an openoperation, the kVA rating compared to that of the original three-phase bank is

(a) 2/3

(b) 58%

(c) 1

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore, the correct option is (b) 58 %.

Step by step solution

01

Using ∆ connection after removing a phase. 

If any phase is damaged in the connection, it can be still used in a circuit after removing a one-phase for repairing.

Therefore, open connection permits the balanced three phase operation.

02

Explain about kVA reduction in open ∆ connection. 

To use the connection after removing one phase, the user need to compromise with the kVA rating.

The transformer’s kVA rating reduce to 58 % of the original original kVA rating when one of the phase is removed.

Hence, the correct option is (b) 58 %.

For a conceptual single-phase phase-shifting transformer, the primary voltage leads the secondary voltage by 30°. A load connected to the secondary winding absorbs 110kVAat an 0.8 power factor leading and at a voltage E2=2700°volts. Determine (a) the primary voltage, (b) primary and secondary currents, (c) load impedance referred to the primary winding, and (d) complex power supplied to the primary winding.

Reconsider Problem 3.64 with the change that now Tbincludes both a transformer of the same turns ratio as Taand a regulating transformer with a4° phase shift. On the base ofTa the impedance of the two components of Tbper unit. Determine the complex power in per unit transmitted to the load through each transformer. Comment on how the transformers share the real and reactive powers.

Figure 3.39 shows a oneline diagram of a system in which the three-phase generator is rated 300 MVA , 20kV with a sub transient reactance of 2.0 per unit and with its neutral grounded through a 0.4 V reactor. The transmission line is 64 km long with a series reactance of 0.5Vkm. The three-phase transformer T1is rated 350 MVA , 230/20kV with a leakage reactance of 0.1 per unit. Transformer T2is composed of three single-phase transformers,each rated 100 MVA , 127/13.2 kV with a leakage reactance of 0.1 per unit. Two 13.2kV motors M1and M2with a sub transient reactance of 0.2 per unit for each motor represent the load. M1has a rated input of 200 MVA with its neutral grounded through a 0.4 V current-limiting reactor. M2has a rated input of 100 MVA with its neutral not connected to ground. Neglect phase shifts associated with the transformers. Choose the generator rating as base in the generator circuit and draw the positive-sequence reactance diagram showing all reactance in per unit.

For the power system in Problem 3.41, the synchronous motor absorbs 1500MWat 0.8 power factor leading with the bus 3 voltage at18kV.Determine the bus 1 and bus 2 voltages inkV. Assume that generators 1and 2 deliver equal real powers and equal reactive powers. Also assume abalanced three-phase system with positive-sequence sources.

The equivalent circuit of two transformers Taand Tbconnected in parallel, With the same nominal voltage ratio and the same reactance of 0.1per unit on the same base, is shown in Figure 3.43. Transformer Tbhas a voltage magnitude Step-up toward the load of 1.05times that of Ta(that is, the tap on the secondary winding ofis set to 1.05). The load is represented by 0.8+j0.6unit at a voltage V2=1.00°per unit. Determine the complex power in per unit transmitted to the load througheach transformer. Comment on how the transformers share the real and reactive powers.
