Determine the efficiency of the transformer if the voltage at the ends of the primary winding
Determine the efficiency of the transformer if the voltage at the ends of the primary winding of the transformer is 220 V and the current in it is 2 A, and the voltage at the ends of the secondary winding is 22 V and the current in it is 15 A.
U1 = 220 V.
I1 = 2 A.
U2 = 22 V.
I2 = 15 A.
Efficiency -?
The efficiency factor The efficiency for a transformer is determined by the formula: efficiency = N2 * 100% / N1, where N1 is the current power in the primary winding of the transformer, N2 is the current power in the secondary winding of the transformer.
The current power N is determined by the formula: N = U * I, where U is the current voltage, I is the current in the conductor.
N1 = U1 * I1, N2 = U2 * I2.
The formula for determining the efficiency of the transformer will take the form: efficiency = U2 * I2 * 100% / U1 * I1.
Efficiency = 22 V * 15 A * 100% / 220 V * 2 A = 75%.
Answer: the transformer has an efficiency of 75%.
