Question 184 of 190

A power transmission line feeds input power at2300V2300V to a step-down transformer with its primary windings having 40004000turns giving the output power at 230V230V. If the current in the primary coil of the transformer is 5A5A and its efficiency is 9090%, the output current would be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) 45A45A

Efficiency, η=0.9=PsPp\eta =0.9=\dfrac{{P}_{s}}{{P}_{p}}

VsIs=0.9×VpIp{V}_{s}{I}_{s}=0.9\times {V}_{p}{I}_{p}

Is=0.9×2300×5230=45A{I}_{s}=\dfrac{0.9\times 2300\times 5}{230}=45A
