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
When voltage changes occur in rapid succession, with magnitudes large enough to cause lighting level variations. The human eye-brain response is most sensitive to periodic r.m.s. voltage changes that occur at around 8 - 10 cycles per second.
