AC Generator & Transformer

A power transmission line feeds input power at 2.3 kV2.3\text{ kV} to a step down transformer with its primary winding having 3000 turns. The output power is delivered at 230 V230\text{ V} by the transformer. The current in the primary of the transformer is 5 A5\text{ A} and its efficiency is 90%90\%. The winding of transformer is made of copper. The output current of transformer is _________ AA.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 45

  1. Pin=2300×5=11500 WP_{in} = 2300 \times 5 = 11500\text{ W} (turns and copper winding are not needed).
  2. Pout=0.9×11500=10350 WP_{out} = 0.9 \times 11500 = 10350\text{ W}
  3. Is=10350230=45 AI_s = \dfrac{10350}{230} = 45\text{ A}
