Question 49 NECO • 2023 • PHYSICS • objective

A single‑phase step‑down transformer has 500 primary turns and 125 secondary turns. It is supplied with a sinusoidal rms voltage of \(V_{p}=240\,\text{V}\) at 50\,Hz. Under no‑load the secondary rms voltage is \(V_{s0}=58\,\text{V}\). When a load draws a secondary current of \(I_{s}=2.0\,\text{A}\), the secondary rms voltage falls to \(V_{sL}=55\,\text{V}\). Assuming the voltage drop is due solely to the equivalent series resistance referred to the secondary, calculate (a) the value of this resistance, and (b) the percentage voltage regulation of the transformer.

Answer Options

A. R_eq = 2.0 Ω, regulation = 5.45 %
Correct Answer B. R_eq = 1.5 Ω, regulation = 5.45 %
C. R_eq = 1.2 Ω, regulation = 5.17 %
D. R_eq = 1.5 Ω, regulation = 6.00 %
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
R_eq = 1.5 Ω, regulation = 5.45 %
