transformers are used to supply power for general purpose. The minimum standard rating is 5 KVA.
Distribution transformers are energized to the line for all the 24 hours of the day, whether they are
supplying any load or not. Distribution transformers should have maximum efficiency nearly at 50% of
full load which is measured in ratio of output kWh to input kWh during 24 hrs of a day.
115. Write short note on ‘Power transformer”
Ans : Power Transformer : The transformers with rating above 500 KVA and used in generating stations
and substations for stepping up or stepping down the voltage are called Power Transformers. These
transformers will be in operation during the load period and can be disconnected during the light load
periods (at least one or two should remain in operation during the light load periods also in substation).
Hence power transformers should have maximum efficiency at nearly 80% of full load.

1. A Electric geyser of capacity 25 Ltr is connected to 230 Volt, 50Hz single phase AC supply.
Find out (i) the current drawn by the geyser (ii) Current rating of MCB to be provided as
control switchgear (iii) Resistance of the heating element of the geyser.
Ans :
Given data, Find out current of MCB, and
Capacity of Geyer = 25 Ltrs, Resistance of Heating element.
Phase voltate = 230 Volts I=?
The heating element of geyser is purely
resistive load, Hence, R=?
Power factor CosØ = 1.0(unity)

Solution,
Since, the power rating of heating element of 25 Ltr capacity geyser is = 1.5kW.
And power in single phase circuits is given by,
Power (P) = V x I x Cos Ø watts
Current (I) = W/(V x Cos Ø) Amps
(i) So the Currenet consumed by the geyser is,
I = 1500 ÷ (230 x 1.0) Amps
= 6.52 Amps
(ii) To provide the MCB control for the above geyser, rating of MCB can be determined
as under :-
Curretn Rating of MCB = Full load current x 125%
= 6.52 x 1.25 = 8.15 Amps
Since, 8.15 Amps current rating MCB is not available in marked, next nearest higher
capacity of SP MCB available in Market is 10 Amps, 10kA considered for control
switchgear of 25 Ltr capacity Geyser.

(iii) Now according to ohms Law, I = V/R, and W= V.I

Hence, the resistance of 1.5 kw Watt Heating element at 230 Volt supply can be
determined as under :-,
R = V2/W = 230 2 / 1500 = 35.27 Ohm
2. Three non inductive loads of 10kW, 8kW and 6Kw are connected between the three line conductors
and neutral of a 3-phase four wire system with line voltage of 400 Volt, Find out current in each line.
Ans :
Given, Find out current in each Line,
Line Voltage VL = 400 Volts, IL-R = ?
Load on R phase WR = 10 kW IL-Y = ?
Load on Y phase WY = 8 kW
Load on B phase WB = 6 kW IL-B = ?
The load are non inductive hence power factor
CosØ = 1.0(unity)

Solution, IL
R
R VL
Iph
Y
B N Y

WB WY WR Vph

In 3 phase 4 wire system means star connetion system,

The Line voltage VL = √3 Phase voltage VPh & Line current = Phase Current
Hence, Phase voltage VPh = VL ÷ √3
= 400 ÷ 1.732
= 231 Volts.
As we know that the power in 3 phase is expressed W = √3 x V x I x Cos Ø watts
and power in single phase supply is expressed W = V x I x Cos Ø watts
Since it is at star connection, here current in each Line is equals to current in each phase, i.e.

IL-R = IPh-R = WR ÷ (VR x Cos Ø) = 10000 ÷ (231 x 1.0) = 43.29 Amps

IL-Y = IPh-Y = WY ÷ (VY x Cos Ø) = 8000 ÷ (231 x 1.0) = 34.63 Amps
IL-B = IPh-B = WB ÷ (VB x Cos Ø) = 6000 ÷ (231 x 1.0) = 25.97 Amps
3. A KLP for OTM bldgs of Engr Regt has planned. The connected electrical load of the
location has summuriesed for 380 kW. Determine (i) capacity of distribution transformer
and (ii) max load current.
Ans :
Given data :- Find :-
Connected Load in kW = 380 kW. Full Load Current (I) = ?,
Transformer KVA = ?

Assumed, 3 phase supply voltage is V = 415 Volts

Power factor Cos Ø = 0.8
Since, diversity factor of OTM accn = 0.8
Hence, the load for designing the reqd Transformer capacity =380 x 0.8 = 304.0 kW
Add 10% for future expansion/safe load = 304 x 10% = 30.4 kw
Total load for designing of transformer is = 304 + 30.4 = 334.4 kW
Since, in 3 phase supply, power is expressed as,
kW = KVA x Cos Ø, and also W = √3 x V x I x Cos Ø watts

So, the KVA rating of required Capacity transformer is given by,

KVA = kW÷Cos Ø = 334.4 ÷ 0.8 = 418 KVA
Hence, next nearest higher capacity transformer available in market is 500 KVA considered.

Since max load current will drawn on full load i.e, on full designed kW

Hence max load current (I) = W ÷ (√3 x V x Cos Ø)

= 334400 ÷ ( 1.732 x 415 x 0.8)
= 581.56 Amps
Say, I = 582 Amps.

Electrical units consumed.
Ans :
Soln
The given details are tabulated as under for working out necessary power loads as per standard
ratings of each eqpts :-

Sr No Appliances A/U Qty Power rating Total watts Remarks

(a) Ceiling fan Nos 03 60 Watt 180.00
(b) Ex-Fan, 300mm sweep Nos 01 80 Watt 80.00

(f) Refrigerator Nos 01 440 Watt 440.00
(g) Geyser 25 Ltr Nos 01 1500 Watt 1500.00
Total connected load in watts 2462.00

Since, the power consumption in single phase supply is given by,

W = V x I x Cos Ø watts ….. Where Cos Ø = 0.8, V = 230 Volts

(i) Hence, the maximum full load current drawn by the house at full load is
I = W ÷ ( V x Cos Ø) Amps
= 2462 ÷ (230 x 0.8)
I = 13.38 Amps

(ii) If the appliance used continuously for 6 hrs, the total kWh units consumed are,

2462
kWh units = x 6 = 14.7 Units
1000

Say kWh unit consumed in 6 hrs at full load = 14 units and 7 points
5. A OPs room building having connected load of 180 kw is required tobe provided with
standby DG set supply. Determine (i) the load current (ii) capacity of Alternator of
generating set.
Ans :
Given data :- Find :-
Connected Load in kW = 180 kW. I = ?,
KVA = ?
Assumed, 3 phase supply voltage is V = 415 Volts
Power factor Cos Ø = 0.8
Since, diversity factor of OTM/office accn = 0.7 to 0.8
Since the DG set is designed for a OPs room accn hence diversity considered is = 0.8
Hence, the load for designing the reqd DG set capacity =180 x 0.8 = 144kW
Add 10% for future expansion/safe load = 144 x 10% = 14.4 kw
Total load for designing of DG set is = 144 + 14.4 = 158.4 kW
Since, in 3 phase supply, power is expressed as,
kW = KVA x Cos Ø, and also W = √3 x V x I x Cos Ø watts

So, the KVA rating of required Capacity DG is given by,

KVA = kW÷Cos Ø = 158.40 ÷ 0.8 = 198 KVA
Hence, next nearest higher capacity available in market is 200 KVA considered.

The load current, I = W ÷ (√3 x V x Cos Ø)

= 158400 ÷ ( 1.732 x 415 x 0.8)
= 275.48 Amps
Say I = 276 Amps.
6. Three non inductive loads of 12kW, 10kW and 8Kw are connected between the three line
conductors and neutral of a 3-phase four wire system with line voltage of 400 Volt, Find
out current in each line.
Ans :
Given, Find out current in each Line,
Line Voltage VL = 400 Volts, IL-R = ?
Load on R phase WR = 12 kW IL-Y = ?
Load on Y phase WY = 10 kW
Load on B phase WB = 8 kW IL-B = ?
The load are non inductive hence power factor
CosØ = 1.0(unity)
IL
Solution, R
R VL
Iph
Y
B N Y

WB WY WR Vph

In 3 phase 4 wire system means star connection system,

The Line voltage (VL)= √3 Phase voltage (VPh) & Line current (IL) = Phase Current (Iph)
Hence, Phase voltage VPh = VL ÷ √3
= 400 ÷ 1.732
= 231 Volts.
As we know that the power in 3 phase is expressed W = √3 x V x I x Cos Ø watts
and power in single phase supply is expressed W = V x I x Cos Ø watts.
Since it is at star connection, here current in each Line is equals to current in each phase, i.e.

IL-R = IPh-R = WR ÷ (VR x Cos Ø) = 12000 ÷ (231 x 1.0) = 51.95 Amps

IL-Y = IPh-Y = WY ÷ (VY x Cos Ø) = 10000 ÷ (231 x 1.0) = 43.29 Amps
IL-B = IPh-B = WB ÷ (VB x Cos Ø) = 8000 ÷ (231 x 1.0) = 34.63 Amps
7. 90 Nos of LED security lights rating 50 Watts each are planned on perimeter of a Field
Ammunition Depot. A 3 phase 415 volt, 4 wire system is available from a existing
Distribution transformer. Determine capacity of Standby DG set supply for security
lights. Light Fittings are equaly distributed on each line. (PF=0.8)
Ans :
Given, Capacity of standby DG ,
Line Voltage VL = 415 Volts, KVA = ?
Rating of LED fitting W = 50 Watts
Total Nos of Light fitting = 90 Nos
Total connected load = 90 x 50 W
= 4500 Watt
= 4.5 kW
Load on Each phase = 30 x 50 W
= 1500 W
Solution,

Since, in 3 phase supply system, power is expressed as,

kW = KVA x Cos Ø, and also W = √3 x V x I x Cos Ø watts

So, the 100% security lights will be function at one time, hence no diversity of load shall be
considered, however for safe load for future expansion of light may be considered @ 10%,

Hence the designed load for DG Set shall be = 4500 + 4500 x 10%
= 4500 + 450
= 4950 W.
= 4.95 kW
Thus the KVA rating of the DG set shall be
KVA = kW ÷ Cos Ø = 4.95 ÷ 0.8 = 6.18 KVA

Say, the KVA rating of DG set alternator = 6.18 KVA is not available in market for 3 phase.
Hence, next nearest higher capacity 3 Phase generator available in market is 10 KVA
considered for security light standby supply.
8. A Electric geyser of capacity 50 Ltr is connected to 230 Volt, 50Hz single phase AC supply.
Find out (i) the current drawn by the geyser (ii) Current rating of MCB to be provided as
control switchgear.
Ans :
Given data, Find out current of MCB, and
Capacity of Geyer = 50 Ltrs, Resistance of Heating element.
Phase voltate = 230 Volts Load Current (I) = ?
The heating element of geyser is purely resistive load,
Hence, power factor CosØ = 1.0(unity) MCB rating = ?

Solution,
Since, the standard power rating of heating elment of 25 Ltr capacity geyser is = 2.0 kW.
And power in single phase circuits is given by,
Power (P) = V x I x Cos Ø watts
Current (I) = W ÷ (V x Cos Ø) Amps
(i) So the Current consumed by the geyser is,
I = 2000 ÷ (230 x 1.0) Amps
I = 8.7 Amps
(ii) Hence next nearest higher capacity of SP MCB available in Market is 10 Amps, 10kA
considered for control switchgear of 50 Ltr capacity Geyser.

9. A single phase transformer has 250 Turns on primary and 1000 turns on the secondary
winding, If the primary winding is connected across a 230 Volt, 50 Hz single phase
supply, what will be induced voltage across the secondary winding (consider no losses
in transformation).
Ans :
Given data, Find out,
Nos of turn on primary winding (T1) = 250 Turns, Induced voltage in secondary
Nos of turn on secondary winding (T2) = 1000 Turns winding (V2) = ?
Primary Voltage (V1) = 230 Volts
Frequency (f) = 50 Hz,

Solution,
The transformation ration for an ideal transformer (where no losses during transformation of
voltage are considered) in terms of voltage, current and numbers of turns of windings is given as,
V1 T1 I2
= T2 = I1
V2
Where, V1 = Primary voltage in volts, V2 = Secondary voltage in volts.
T1 = Nos of Turns of primary winding. T2 = Nos of Turns of Secondary winding.
I1 = Current in primary winding in Amps, I2 = Current in Secondary winding in Amps
From the above ration, Here Nos of Turn in secondary winding can be determined as,
V1 T1
= T2
V2

V1 x T2 230 x 1000
V2 = = = 920 volts
T1 250

Thus, the induced voltage across the secondary winding is = 920 Volts, 50 Hz
10. A resistance of 10 Ohm is connected across a supply of 200Volt. If a resistance of R is now connected
in parallel with a 10 ohm resistance, the current drawn from the supply gets doubled. Find value of

If a new resistance ‘R’ is connected in parallel with existing 10 Ω resistance, the current ‘I’ gets
doubled i.e 2I. and the equivalent resistance of ckt as shown in fig.2 is given as,

R1 x R2 10 x R 10 R

V 10R
Again in in fig.2, according to ohms Law, I = R , where, V=200 V, R = Ω, &
10+R

I = 2I = 2 x 20 = 40 Amps
So,
200 200 x(10+ R)
40 = 10R = 10 R
10+R

200 x(10+ R)
40 = 10 R

40 x 10R = 2000 + 200R

400R-200R = 2000
200R = 2000
R = 10 Ω
Thus, the value of unknown resistance R = 10 Ω
11. A resistance of 20 Ohm is connected across a supply of 200Volt. If a resistance of R is now connected

If a new resistance ‘R’ is connected in parallel with existing 10 Ω resistance, the current ‘I’ gets
doubled i.e 2I. and the equivalent resistance of ckt as shown in fig.2 is given as,

R1 x R2 20 x R 20 R
RT = = =

V 20R
Again in in fig.2, according to ohms Law, I = R , where, V=200 V, R = Ω, &

I = 2I = 2 x 10 = 20 Amps
So,
200 200 x(20+ R)
20 = 20R = 20 R
20+R

200 x(20+ R)
20 = 20 R

20 x 20R = 4000 + 200R

400R-200R = 4000
200R = 4000
R = 20 Ω
Thus, the value of unknown resistance R = 20 Ω
12. A series AC circuit consisting of a register of 10 ohm and inductance of 0.2 Henry is connected across
a single phase, 230 volt, 50 Hz supply. Determine the Impedance (Z) of the circuit.
Ans :
Solution,
10Ω 0.2 H
Given, HΩ
R=10 Ω,
L= 0.2 H,
V = 230 V
f = 50 Hz

Find, Z = ? 230 V, 50Hz

The Impedance of AC circuits is given by,

Z =√𝑹𝟐 + 𝑿𝟐 𝑶𝒉𝒎., Here, X = reactance of AC circuit and in Ohms.

R= Resistance of AC circuit in Ohms.

The reactance of Inductor ‘L’ is termed as X L and given by the formula,

XL= 2 𝜋𝑓𝐿 𝑂ℎ𝑚.

Putting the given data/values,
XL= 2 𝑥3.14 𝑥 50 𝑥 0.2 𝑂ℎ𝑚.
XL= 62.8 Ohm
Hence,
Z = √102 + 62.82 𝑂ℎ𝑚

= √100 + 3943.84

= √4043.84

Z = 63.59 Ohm

So the impedance of the given circuit is 63.59 Ohm.

13. Three resistances each of R ohm are connected to form a triangle. What will be the resistance

As per given three resistance of value ‘R’ Ω, are formed triangle, Let the assume the formed triangle
ABC as shown in fig.
The resistance between any two terminal of the triangle, Let we assume two terminal of triangle as
A & B.
The triangle is re-arranged in the form of circuit diagram as shown in second fig,
Now we find that, two resistance in one branch of circuit are in series, and one resistance is in
parallel with the equivalent resistance of the two series resistances, hence resistance between A &
B terminal can be find out as resolving series and parallel ckts :-

RT in series branch = R + R = 2R Ω
RT in parallel branch,
2R x R

Hence, the resistance between any two terminals will be 2/3 of ‘R’
14. The resistance of wire is 2 Ohm. If the diameter of the wire is reduced to half, keeping the same
length, what will be the resistance of wire ?
Ans : Solution,

Given :
Resistance of conductor ‘R’ = 2 Ohm,
Length of Conductor = L mtr

As we know that, the resistance of a substance is given by,

L
R = ρ. A Where, ρ = Specific resistivity of substance.
L = Lenth of conductor in meter
𝐴 = 𝐶𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟
According to 1st condition i.e., the dia of conductor is ‘d’, and length is ‘L’, thus the cross sectional
area A1 will be
𝜋d2
A1 = , Putting this value in the above given formula,
4

L 4L
R = ρ. = ρ. 𝜋d2

𝜋d2 𝜋d2 𝜋d2

ρ= R = 2 = because R = 2 ohm.
4L 4L 2L

𝜋d2
ρ= …………… eqn 1
2L

𝑑
Now, according to 2nd condition if the dia of the conductor is reduced to half i.e d= 2 , and
length of conductor is same i.e. L = L, the resistance R will be,

𝑑
𝜋(2 )2
A2 = 4

L 16L
R = ρ. = ρ. 𝜋d2
𝑑 2
𝜋(2)

𝜋d2
ρ= R …………… eqn 2
16L

From above eqn 1 & 2, we can write

𝜋d2 𝜋d2
= R 16L
2L

R=8Ω

Thus the resistance has increased 4 time i.e 8 Ω, due to reduction in cross sectional area.
15. 180 Nos of LED security lights rating 50 Watts each are planned on perimeter of a Field
Ammunition Depot. A 3 phase 415 volt, 4 wire system is available from a existing
Distribution transformer. Determine capacity of Standby DG set supply for security
lights. Light Fittings are equaly distributed on each line. (PF=0.8)
Ans :
Given, Capacity of standby DG ,
Line Voltage VL = 415 Volts, KVA = ?
Rating of LED fitting W = 50 Watts
Total Nos of Light fitting = 180 Nos
Total connected load = 180 x 50 W
= 9000 Watt
= 9.0 kW
Load on Each phase = 60 x 50 W
= 9000 W
Solution,

Since, in 3 phase supply system, power is expressed as,

kW = KVA x Cos Ø, and also W = √3 x V x I x Cos Ø watts

So, the 100% security lights will be function at one time, hence no diversity of load shall be
considered, however for safe load for future expansion of light may be considered @ 10%,

Hence the designed load for DG Set shall be = 9000 + 9000 x 10%
= 9000 + 900
= 9900 W.
= 9.9 kW
Thus the KVA rating of the DG set shall be
KVA = kW ÷ Cos Ø = 9.9 ÷ 0.8 = 12.375 KVA

Say, the KVA rating of DG set alternator = 12.375 KVA is not available in market for 3 phase.
Hence, next nearest higher capacity 3 Phase generator available in market is 15 KVA
considered for security light standby supply.
