MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 3)
A 200/400 V, 20 kVA, 2-winding transformer is connected as an auto-transformer to transform 600 V to 200 V. Calculate the kVA rating of the auto-transformer.
Here auto transformer change voltage from 600 V to 200 V. Voltage ratio (a) = 600/200 = 3 kVA rating of the auto-transformer = (a/(a - 1))*(kVA rating of auto transformer) = (3/2)*20 = 30 kVA
Buchholz relay is used for protecting transformer against incipient or internal faults. Buchholz relay is a gas-actuated relay installed in oil immersed transformers for protection against all kinds of faults.
