45. If the applied voltage of a certain transformer is increased by 50% and the frequency is reduced
to 50% (assuming that magnetic circuit remains unsaturated), the maximum core flux density
will
() change to three times the original value
() change to 1.5 times the original value
(c) change to 0.5 times the original value
(d) remains the same as the original value
46. In a transformer, low-voltage winding is placed near the core in case of concentric windings so
as to
1. reduce the leakage flux
2. reduce the insulation requirement
3. reduce the risk of voltage shock in case of insulation breakdown
4. reduce the core loss
5. reduce the total conductor
material
From these, the correct answer is
() 1, 2, 3, 5
(6) 2, 3, 4, 5
(c) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
(d) 2, 3, 5
47. Can a 50 Hz transformer be used for 25 Hz, if the input voltage is maintained constant at the
rated value corresponding to 50 Hz ?
. (a) Yes. Since the voltage is constant, current levels will not change
() No. Flux will be doubled which will drive the core to excessive saturation
(c) No. Owing to decreased reactance of transformer, input current will be doubled at load
(d) Yes. At constant voltage, insulation will not be overstressed.
48. Voltage applied to the primary of a transformer is kept constant but its frequency is decreased.
Under this operation,
(a) magnetizing current increases but core-loss current decreases
(b) magnetizing current decreases but core-loss current increases
(c) magnetizing current and core-loss current both decrease
(d) magnetizing current and core-loss current both increase
49. In a transformer, if primary leakage impedance is neglected, then
magnetizing current lags the applied voltage Vj by 90
core-loss current lags Vl by 90
exciting current lags V1 by 90
core-loss current is in phase with
exciting current lags Vj by about 80
magnetizing current lags Vx by about 80
From these, the correct statements are
