# Step-by-Step Solution
Given:
- **Transformer Rating**: 5000 kVA, 3-phase
- **Voltage**: 6.6 kV (primary, delta), 33 kV (secondary, star)
- **No load loss**: 15 kW
- **Full-load loss (Total loss)**: 50 kW
- **Impedance drop at full load**: 7%
- **Load delivered**: 3200 kW at 0.8 pf (power factor), at 33 kV (secondary side)
We are asked to **calculate the primary voltage** (at the 6.6 kV side) under these load conditions.
---
## 1. **Calculate Full-Load Current on Secondary Side**
\[
\text{Full-load kVA} = 5000\, \text{kVA}
\]
\[
I_{FL,2} = \frac{\text{Full-load kVA} \times 1000}{\sqrt{3} \times V_{2}}
= \frac{5000 \times 1000}{\sqrt{3} \times 33000}
= \frac{5000000}{57154}
\approx 87.45\, \text{A}
\]
---
## 2. **Calculate Actual Load Current on Secondary Side**
\[
\text{Load delivered} = 3200\, \text{kW} \text{ at } 0.8\, \text{pf}
\]
\[
S_{\text{load}} = \frac{3200\, \text{kW}}{0.8} = 4000\, \text{kVA}
\]
\[
I_{2} = \frac{4000 \times 1000}{\sqrt{3} \times 33000}
= \frac{4000000}{57154}
\approx 70.0\, \text{A}
\]
---
## 3. **Determine Per-Unit Load Fraction**
\[
\text{Load fraction} = \frac{70.0}{87.45} \approx 0.80
\]
---
## 4. **Calculate Load Loss at Actual Load**
Load losses (mainly copper losses) vary as the square of the load:
\[
\text{Load loss at actual load} = (\text{full load loss} - \text{no-load loss}) \times (\text{Load fraction})^2
\]
\[
= (50 - 15)\,\text{kW} \times (0.80)^2 = 35 \times 0.64 = 22.4\, \text{kW}
\]
Total loss at this load:
\[
\text{Total loss} = \text{no-load loss} + \text{load loss at actual load}
= 15 + 22.4 = 37.4\, \text{kW}
\]
---
## 5. **Calculate Output and Input Power**
\[
\text{Output (delivered)} = 3200\, \text{kW}
\]
\[
\text{Input} = \text{Output} + \text{Losses} = 3200 + 37.4 = 3237.4\, \text{kW}
\]
---
## 6. **Impedance Drop at Actual Load**
Impedance drop at full load is **7%** (of rated voltage), at 0.8 power factor.
Let’s calculate the **impedance voltage drop** at 0.8 per-unit load.
Impedance drop (in percent) at a given load:
\[
\text{Voltage drop} = \text{Percentage drop at full load} \times \text{Load fraction}
\]
\[
= 7\% \times 0.8 = 5.6\%
\]
But since impedance drop is a vector sum of resistive and reactive drops, and power factor affects it, let's be precise.
If \( Z_{pu} = 0.07 \) per unit at full load, the voltage drop at less than full load and any power factor is:
\[
\Delta V = I_2 \left[ R\cos\phi + X\sin\phi \right]
\]
But typically, with only percent impedance given, we use:
\[
\text{Voltage drop (\%)} = \text{Impedance \%} \times \text{Load fraction} \times (\cos\theta)
\]
But for more accuracy, let's split impedance into resistance and reactance.
Let \( x \) = reactance percent, \( r \) = resistance percent
At full load, total losses are:
- No-load loss = Iron loss = 15 kW
- Full-load loss = 50 kW (includes iron + copper loss)
- So, copper loss at full load = 50 - 15 = 35 kW
The per-unit resistance drop at full load:
\[
\text{Full-load copper loss} = 3 I_{FL,1}^2 R_{phase}
\]
But with percent impedance (Z%), and knowing the copper loss, we can use:
\[
\text{Impedance (Z)}^2 = R_{pu}^2 + X_{pu}^2
\]
And:
\[
\text{Copper loss at full load} = I_{FL}^2 R
\]
Let’s find \( R_{pu} \):
\[
\text{Per-phase full-load current} = 87.45\, \text{A}
\]
\[
\text{Per-phase voltage (secondary)} = \frac{33000}{\sqrt{3}} = 19052\, \text{V}
\]
\[
\text{Base power per phase} = \frac{5000}{3} = 1666.67\, \text{kVA}
\]
\[
\text{Base impedance (secondary)} = \frac{(19052)^2}{1666667} \approx 0.218\, \Omega
\]
\[
\text{Copper loss at full load} = 35\, \text{kW}
\]
\[
\text{Total copper loss} = 3 \times I_{FL}^2 \times R_{phase}
\]
\[
R_{phase} = \frac{35000}{3 \times (87.45)^2} = \frac{35000}{3 \times 7647.4} = \frac{35000}{22942.2} \approx 1.526\, \Omega
\]
\[
R_{pu} = \frac{1.526}{0.218} \approx 7.0
\]
But this is 7 per unit, which is too high; let's use % base:
\[
\text{Base MVA} = 5\, \text{MVA}
\]
\[
\text{Base voltage} = 33\, \text{kV}
\]
\[
\text{Base impedance} = \frac{33^2}{5} = 217.8\, \Omega
\]
But that's for single-phase. For three-phase,
\[
Z_{base} = \frac{V_{LL}^2}{S_{base}}
\]
\[
= \frac{(33,000)^2}{5,000,000} = \frac{1,089,000,000}{5,000,000} = 217.8\, \Omega
\]
So,
\[
R_{pu} = \frac{1.526}{217.8} = 0.007 \text{ (or 0.7\% per unit)}
\]
So,
\[
Z_{pu} = 0.07 \text{ (7\%)}
\]
\[
R_{pu} = 0.007 \text{ (0.7\%)}
\]
\[
X_{pu} = \sqrt{(0.07)^2 - (0.007)^2} = \sqrt{0.0049 - 0.000049} = \sqrt{0.004851} \approx 0.0696 \text{ (6.96\%)}
\]
---
## 7. **Voltage Drop at Actual Load and 0.8 pf**
For any power factor, the per-unit voltage drop:
\[
\Delta V_{pu} = (\text{Load fraction}) \times [R_{pu} \cos\phi + X_{pu} \sin\phi]
\]
Given:
- Load fraction: 0.8
- \(\cos\phi = 0.8\)
- \(\sin\phi = 0.6\)
- \(R_{pu} = 0.007\)
- \(X_{pu} = 0.0696\)
\[
\Delta V_{pu} = 0.8 [0.007 \times 0.8 + 0.0696 \times 0.6]
= 0.8 [0.0056 + 0.0418]
= 0.8 \times 0.0474 = 0.0379
\]
So, in percent:
\[
\Delta V = 0.0379 \times 100 = 3.79\%
\]
---
## 8. **Calculate the Primary Voltage Required**
The transformer is delivering 33 kV (secondary, line-to-line) at the load terminals, which is after the voltage drop. The **primary voltage must be such that after accounting for this drop, the secondary voltage is 33 kV**.
Let \( V_{2} \) = 33,000 V (at load), \( V_{1}' \) = ideal primary voltage required.
The total actual secondary voltage at transformer terminals:
\[
V_{2, \text{tr}} = V_{2} + \Delta V
\]
But since voltage drop is a percent of rated voltage,
\[
\Delta V = 3.79\% \text{ of } 33,000 = 0.0379 \times 33,000 = 1,250\, \text{V}
\]
So, the transformer **secondary winding** must supply:
\[
V_{2, \text{tr}} = 33,000 + 1,250 = 34,250\, \text{V}
\]
To maintain 33,000 V at the load, transformer secondary must be at 34,250 V.
The transformer is ideal, so the ratio holds:
\[
\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{6,600}{33,000} = 0.2
\]
So,
\[
V_1 = V_2 \times 0.2
\]
But since the transformer must supply 34,250 V at the secondary, the primary voltage must be:
\[
V_{1, \text{required}} = 34,250 \times 0.2 = 6,850\, \text{V}
\]
---
## 9. **Final Answer**
### **The required primary voltage is:**
\[
\boxed{6,850\, \text{V}}
\]
