1. A single-phase 440/110 V transformer has primary and secondary winding resistance of
0.3 ohm and 0.02 ohm, respectively. If iron loss on normal input voltage is 150 W,
calculate the secondary current at which maximum efficiency will occur. What is the value
of this maximum efficiency for unity power factor load?
2. In a 25 kVA, 2000/200 V power transformer the iron and full load copper losses are 350
W and 400 W, respectively. Calculate the efficiency at unity power factor at (i) full load
and (ii) half load.
3. A 220/400 V, 10 kVA, 50Hz, single-phase transformer has copper loss of 120 W at full
load. If it has an efficiency of 98% at full load, unity power factor, determine the iron
losses. What would be the efficiency of the transformer at half full-load at 0.8 pf lagging.
4. A 1000 kVA, 110/220-volt, 50 Hz single phase transformer has an efficiency of 98.5% at
half load and 0.8 power factor leading. Whereas its efficiency at full load unity power
factor is 98.9%. Determine (i) iron loss (ii) Full load copper loss.
5. A single-phase 400 kVA transformer has an efficiency of 99.13% at half load unity pf
whereas it efficiency is 98.77% at full-load 0.8 pf lagging. (i) the iron loss (ii) the full load

6. In a 25 kVA. 1100/400 V, single phase transformer, the iron and copper losses at full load

Determine the load at which maximum efficiency occurs.
7. A 50 kVA transformer on full load has a copper loss of 600 watt and iron loss of 500 watt,
calculate the maximum efficiency and the load at which it occurs.
8. The iron and full-load copper losses of a 100 kVA single-phase transformer are 1 kW and
1.5 kW, respectively. Calculate the kVA loading at which the efficiency is maximum and
its efficiency at this loading: (i) at unit pf (ii) at 0.8 pf lagging.
9. A 20 kVA transformer on domestic load, which can be taken as of unity power factor, has
a full load efficiency of 94.3%, the copper loss then being twice the iron loss. Calculate its
all-day efficiency on the following daily cycle; no-load for 10 hours, half load for 8 hours
and full load for 6 hours.
