Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 2 kVA transformer shows a wattmeter reading of 40 W during an open-circuit test with a 115 V voltage applied. If the no-load current measured is 0.35 A, calculate the core loss resistance.

💡 Hint: Use the relationship between core loss current and the voltage to find resistance.

Question 2

Transformers exhibit various degrees of core loss. If another transformer shows varying readings during tests, how would you determine the quality of the magnetic core material?

💡 Hint: Think about how core material selection impacts performance measurements over typically tested parameters.
