Question 1 [20 marks]
A new transformer is required to cater additional load in a SME factory. Based on the supplier's
recommendation, you have chosen a 250 kVA, 4160:480 V, 60 Hz transformer, with the following
parameters
• $R_1$ = 0.09 ? and $X_1$=1.7 ?
• $R_2$ = 1.2 × 10?³ ? and $X_2$ = 2.26 × 10?² ?
The core losses are assumed as negligible
