#26 A (50/60 Hz) Transformer. Which one will give more Output? (When operates on 50 or 60 Hz frequency)
A (50/60 Hz) Transformer. Which one will give more Output? (When operates on 50 or 60 Hz frequency) A Transformer is designed to be operated on both 50 & 60 Hz frequency. For the Same rating, which one will give more out put; when, Operates on 50 Hz Operates on 60 Hz Obviously! It will give more out put when we operate a transformer (of same rating) on 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz. Because in previous posts, we proved that, in inductive circuit, when frequency increases, the circuit power factor decreases . Consequently, the transformer out put decreases. Let’s consider the following example. Suppose, When Transformer operates on 50 Hz Frequency Transformer = 100kVA, R=700 Ω , L=1.2 H, f= 50 Hz. X L = 2Ï€fL = 2 x 3.1415 x 50 x 1.2 = 377 Ω Impedance Z = √ (R 2 +X L 2 ) = √ (700 2 + 377 2 ) = 795 Ω Power factor Cos θ = R/Z = 700/795 = 0.88 Transformer Output (Real Power) kVA x Cos θ 100kVA...
