your absence from the Examination Hall in the register provided. Smoking and the consumption of any
kind of beverages are strictly prohibited inside the Examination Hall.
9. Do not leave the Examination Hall without submitting your answer-script to the invigilator. In any case
you are not allowed to take away the answer-script with you. After the completion of the examination,

The voltage ratings of the two windings, a-b and c-d of a 4 kVA, 50 Hz transformer (shown in Fig.
Q5(b)-(i)) are 400 V and 200 V respectively. The parameters of the transformer are:
Self-inductance of winding a-b, Lab = 5.0 H; Self-inductance of winding c-d, Lcd = 1.25 H;
Co-efficient of coupling, k = 0.98;
Number of turns of winding a-b, Nab = 360; Number of turns of winding c-d, Ncd = 180;

Find the leakage reactance of the transformer. [2 marks]

Now, this transformer has to be used as an inductor such that none of its limits (rated voltage and current
of the windings and rated flux density of the core) is violated. Two probable connections to achieve this
are shown in Fig. Q5(b)-(ii) and Fig. Q5(b)-(iii). For each of these connections, find the net inductance.

Now, for the inductor having larger inductance find the current rating, the VA rating and the peak value
of maximum total flux in the core. Losses of the transformer are neglected and the magnetizing current
is considered sinusoidal. [4 marks]
