On the name plate of a three phase transformer, we have the following indications: Apparent power: 160KVA. Primary: 20KV, triangle coupling. Secondary: 220/380V, at full load, star coupling.

2.1 The current at the secondary is 230A. Calculate the nominal active power for a power factor of 0.8. 2.2 In those conditions the maximum efficiency is 0.96. Calculate the copper and the iron losses knowing that those two losses are equal. 2.3 We now use one of the three windings of the transformer. This winding is like a single phase transformer. A primary winding under 20KV A secondary winding supplying a current of 230A, under a voltage of 220V, in an inductive circuit having a power factor of 0.8. In full load, the voltage drop is 5% of the no load voltage in the secondary. Determine: a) The no load voltage b) The turn ration c) The resistance Rs brought to the secondary knowing that the total copper losses of the three phase transformer are equal to 2523W. d) The reactance Xs brought to the secondary if the voltage drop at the secondary for a winding is 11.6V
