Chapter 20 QUIZ
TRANSFORMERS
1. How is energy transferred from the primary to the secondary of a transformer?
2. Suppose d.c. were fed into the primary of a transformer, what would happen?
3. Explain how the secondary current controls the amount of primary current?
4. A welding transformer has a one-turn secondary that delivers 400 amperes.
The primary has 800 turns. What is the primary current?
5. You want to build a transformer to step-down 440 volts to 110 volts. If 2,080
turns are used on the secondary, how many turns will be used
on the primary?
6. A loaded secondary draws 80 amperes at 220 volts. If the primary is 600 volts,
what is the primary current?
7. A 440/110 volt transformer is designed for 1/4 volt per turn. How many turns
on primary and secondary?
8. Is it absolutely correct to say that transformers ate 100 percent efficient?
9. Two losses occur in a transformer? What are they?
10. How can the losses of a transformer be reduced?
Chapter 20 ANSWERS
TRANSFORMERS
1. The magnetic flux field set up by the primary current
carries the primary's energy to the secondary.
2. D.c. produces no continuous voltage of self induction,
therefore a very high current would flow. The primary would
burn out.
3. The secondary's flux field cancels the primary's. This
reduces the Esi in the primary and adjusts primary
current in exact proportions to the secondary current.
4. 1/2 ampere.
5. 8320 turns.
6. 29-1/3 amps.
7. 1,760 and 440 turns.
8. No.
9. Iron losses - hysteresis and eddy currents. Copper
losses - resistance.
10. Iron, by using soft iron or silica steel in laminated
form. Copper; by shortening the length per
turn, and using heavy wire. Both, by cooling entire assembly.
