Can you load a transformer by a pure capacitive load?
No
What is the significant relationship of the no load loss in excitation current test in transformer?
The no load losses are the losses caused by energizing the transformer. These are constant losses, regardless of loading. This in effect tells you the efficiency of the transformer. (Power in) - (no load losses) = (Power out)
Why are distribution transformers frequently designed to develop maximum efficiency at loads that are somewhat lower than rated value?
It is always desirable to run any equipment or device at maximum efficiency for that matter, not only the power transformer. Power transformer maximum efficiency occurs when copper loss is equal to iron loss. (or no load loss equals to load loss). This does not necessariliy mean that maximum efficiency occurs at maximum or full load. Generally the maximum efficiency occurs at relatively less than full load of the transformer.
What is non-inductive load?
non- inductive load is without motor and transformer loads are non-inductive load, purely resistive are capacitive loads phase angle is unity are leading PF A non-inductive load is a load whose current does not change instantaneously.
How to calculate transformer core loss and iron loss?
there are several losses in a transformer that prevent it from attaining 100% efficiency. One is core loss, which can be divided into Hysteresis losses, Eddy currents and Magnetostriction loses. see for more details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer#Energy_losses
Can you load a transformer by a pure capacitive load?
No
Is a transformer load inductive or capacitive?
A transformer is fundamentally a set of coils; therefore, a transformer is an inductive load. However, by "transformer load", you seem to mean "the load that is connected to a transformer". Whether that load is inductive or capacitive depends mostly on what is hooked up to the transformer.
When is the efficiency maximum in a transformer?
the efficiency is maximum in a transformer when no load loss is equal to load loss.
Would a computer be considered a capacitive load?
No because the very first component in the power supply is a transformer, which makes for it being an inductive load.
Does low load in transformer lead to low power factor?
Power factor is determined by the nature (resistive, inductive, capacitive) of a load, not whether it is a low load or a high load.
What is the percentage load at which maximum efficiency occurs for the single phase transformer?
That is the maximum efficiency occurs when the copper losses are equal to the core losses of the transformer.
When is a transformer closet to unity power factor?
When it supplies a resistive load.
What is the significant relationship of the no load loss in excitation current test in transformer?
The no load losses are the losses caused by energizing the transformer. These are constant losses, regardless of loading. This in effect tells you the efficiency of the transformer. (Power in) - (no load losses) = (Power out)
Why the load voltage increases when the load used is capacitive?
capacitive reaction
What is the efficiency of a transformer that has an input of 600 VA and an output to a load of 580 VA?
96%
When a two winding transformer is connected as an autotransformer its efficiency under full load is?
remain same
