Figure 1 i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. What is the rms voltage on the supply side? Calculate the impedance in each arm, namely Z1 and Z2. Calculate the current in each arm namely I1 and I2 as indicated in the figure. Calculate the apparent, real and reactive powers for each arm. Draw the power triangle for each arm. Calculate the power supplied by the ac supply. Compare this value with the total power in both arms. (10 marks)

QUESTION 3 A single-phase, 10KVA, 400/1100V, 50Hz transformer has the following circuit parameters: ZLV = 0.82 + j0.95 ZLV = Low Voltage Impedance ZHV = High Voltage Impedance i. Determine the rated currents for both sides of the transformer. ii. Draw the equivalent circuit with the parameters referred to the low-voltage side. iii. The high-voltage side is now supplying full-load current at 1000 V and 0.82 power factor lagging. Determine the voltage regulation and efficiency of the transformer. Neglect the effect of the core. (10 marks) ZHV = 1.2 + j1.5
