  1. A 5kVA, 400/2000 volt, 50Hz, 1 – φ transformer has primary and secondary leakage reactance each of 2.5 Ω . The total reactance in p.u. will be _____p.u.
    1. 390 p.u.
    2. 39.0 p.u.
    3. 03.90 p.u.
    4. 0.390 p.u.
Correct Option: D

Let VA on both sides of the transfomer is 500 VA, i.e.
sb = 5000 VA,
Total reactance of the transfomer referred to primary

X1C = X1 + X2
N1
²
N2

= 2.5 + 2.5 ×
400
²
200

= 2.5 + 10 = 12.5 Ω
Base voltage on primary side,
Vb1 = 400 V
Xpu = XΩ
Sb
b1

Total p.u. reactance referred to primary
X1epu = X1e.
Sb
b1

= 12.5 ×
5000
= 0.390 p.u.
(400)²
