Answer any two question from Q4 (a), (b) or Q4 (c), (d)
4 (a) Derive the expression for the KVA rating of a three phase transformer and show that the e.m.f per turn E =K√KVA.
7 M
4 (b) Derive the condition for the optimum design of transformer for the minimum cost and minimum losses.
7 M
4 (c) Explain the methods of estimation of motor rating for variable load drives.
7 M
4 (d) The temperature rise of a transformer is 25° after one hour and 37.5° after two hours of starting from cold conditions. Calculate its final steady temperature rise and the heating time constant. If its temperature falls from the final steady value to 40°C in 1.5 hour when disconnected, calculate its cooling time constant. The ambient temperature is 30°C.
