The direct electrical connection of the windings allows transient overvoltages to pass through the autotransformer more easily, and that is animportant disadvantage of the autotransformer.

(a) True

(b) False

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) True

Step by step solution

01

Explain about autotransformer connections.

Autotransformer is a single winding static device which has tappings at the output.

The output voltage is determine on the basis of winding tappings and the polarity of input and ouput voltage.

Therefore, there is direct connection between electrical source and windings because of tappings.

02

Explain about transient voltage

Whenever the fault occurs in a power system, the transient voltage flows for few cycles in a circuit.

Because of direct electrical contact of autotransformer, the transient voltage traveks through it and may daage the device.

Thus, the correct option is (a) true.

A single-phase transformer has 2000 turns on the primary winding and 500 turns on the secondary. Winding resistances are R1=2ฮฉ, and R2=0.125; leakage reactanceโ€™s areR1=8, and X2=0.5ฮฉ. The resistance load on the secondary is 12ฮฉ.

(a) If the applied voltage at the terminals of the primary is 1000V, determine v2at the load terminals of the transformer, neglecting magnetizing current.

(b) If the voltage regulation is defined as the difference between the voltage magnitude at the load terminals of the transformer at full load and at no load in percent of full-load voltage with input voltage held constant, compute the percent voltage regulation.

Consider three ideal single-phase transformers (with a voltage gain of ฮท)put together as a โˆ†-ฮฉthree-phase bank as shown in Figure 3.35. Assuming positive-sequence voltages forVan,Vbn,andVcn,findVa'n',Vb'n',andVc'n'in terms ofVan,Vbn,andVcn,respectively.

(a) Would such relationships hold for the line voltages as well?

(b) Looking into the current relationships, expressIa',Ib',andIc'in terms

ofIa,Ib,andIc,respectively.

(c) Let S'and Sbe the per-phase complex power output and input,

respectively. Find S'in terms of S.

With the American Standard notation, in either a Y-ฮ” orฮ”-Y transformer, positive-sequence quantities on the high-voltage side shall lead their corresponding quantities on the low-voltage side by 30ยฐ.

(a) True (b) False

It is stated that

(i) balanced three-phase circuits can be solved in per unit on a per-phase basis after converting-load impedances to equivalent Y impedances.

(ii) Base values can be selected either on a per-phase basis or on a three phase basis.

(a) Both statements are true.

(b) Neither is true.

(c) Only one of the above is true.

A low value of transformer leakage reactance is desired to minimize the voltage drop, but a high value is desired to limit the fault current, thereby leading to a compromise in the design specification.

(a) True

(b) False
