A. 400V
B. 240V
C. 320V
D. 160V

Answer

The figure above shows coils 1 and 2, with dot markings as shown, having 4000 and 6000 turns respectively. Both the coils have a rated current of 25A. Coil 1 is excited with single phase, 400V, 50Hz supply.

 

[5] The coils are to be connected to obtain a single phase, 400/1000V, auto-transformer to drive a load of 10kVA. Which of the options given should be exercised to realize the required auto-transformer? [GATE 2009]
A. Connect A and D; Common B
B. Connect B and D; Common C
C. Connect A and C; Common B
D. Connect A and C; Common D

Answer

[6] In the autotransformer obtained in Question 57, the current in each coil is [GATE 2009]
A. Coil-1 is 25A and Coil-2 is 10A
B. Coil-1 is 10A and Coil-2 is 25A
C. Coil-1 is 10A and Coil-2 is 15A
D. Coil-1 is 15A and Coil-2 is 10A

Answer

[7]The single phase, 50Hz iron core transformer in the circuit has both the vertical arms of cross sectional area 20cm2 and both the horizontal arms of cross sectional area 10cm2. If the two windings shown were wound instead on opposite horizontal arms, the mutual inductance will [GATE 2009]

A. Double

B. Remain same

Solution Hint:
Vertical arms A = 20cm2
Horizontal arms A = 10cm2
Wound in the horizontal arms means, Area reduces from 20cm2 to 10cm2…. So Inductance will be halved.
