  1. A 400 / 100 V, 5kVA, single-phase two winding transformer is converted into an autotransformer to supply 400 volts from a 500 V voltage source. When tested as a two winding transformer at rated load and 0.85 p.f. lagging, efficiency is 0.95, than its efficiency as auto-transformer at rated-load and 0.8 p.f. lagging will be _______ % .

    kVA rating of auto-transformer
    = 500 × 50 = 25 kVA
    As a two- winding transformer,

    η =
    output
    = 0.95
    output + losses

    ∴  
    5 × 0.8
    = 0.95
    5 × 0.8 + losses

    ⇒  Losses = 210.52 watt
    Since losses remain const ant, hence for an auto-transformer,
    η =
    25 × 0.8
    = 98.95%
    25 × 0.8 + 0.210
