Q: No. 5 A single phase two-winding transformer is rated 25 kVA, 1100/440 volts, 50 Hz.
The equivalent leakage impedance of the transformer referred to the low voltage side is
0.06<780 . Using transformer rating as base value, determine the per-unit leakage
impedance referred to low voltage winding and referred to high voltage winding.
Q: No. 6 Three parts of a single-phase electric system are designated A, B and C and are
connected to each other through transformers, as shown in the Fig 1.1. The transformers are
rated as follows.
A-B 10,000 kVA, 138/13.8 kV, leakage reactance 10%
B-C 10,000 kVA, 138/69 kV, leakage reactance 8%
If the base in circuit B is chosen as 10,000 kVA, 145 kV, find the per-unit impedance of the
300- resistive load in circuit C referred to circuits C, B and A.

Q: No 7 The three transformers rated 25 MVA, 38.1/3.81 kV are connected Y-∆ as shown in
Fig 1.2 with a balanced load of three 0.6 , Y-connected resistors. Choose a base of 75
MVA, 66kV for the high tension side of the transformer and specify the base for the low
tension side. Determine the per-unit resistance of the load on the base for the low-tension
side. Then determine the load resistance RL referred to the high-tension side and the per-unit
value of this resistance on the chosen base.

Q: No. 8 A three phase transformer is rated 400 MVA, 220Y/22∆ kV. The short-circuit
impedance measured on the low voltage side of the transformer is 0.121 and because of
the low resistance this value may be considered equal to the leakage reactance. Determine the
per-unit reactance of the transformer and the value to be used to represent this transformer in
a system whose base on the high-tension side of the transformer is 100 MVA, 230 kV.
