What would the total loss of the 2kVA transformer corresponding to maximum efficiency be, provided the transformer has the iron of 150 W and full-load copper loss of 250W?
When variable loss becomes equal to the constant loss, efficiency is maximum. Losses = Pi + Pc Since copper loss is a variable loss therefore Losses = Pi + Pi = 2pi Thus at a maximum efficiency of this transformer total loss = 150 x 2 = 300 W
Penstock Penstock pipe is used to bring water from the dam to the hydraulic turbine. Penstock pipes are made up of steel or reinforced concrete. The turbine is installed at a lower level from the dam. The penstock is provided with a gate valve at the inlet to completely close the water supply. It has a control valve to control the water flow rate into the turbine.
The average value of the sine wave over one complete cycle is actually zero. Hence, for a sine wave, the average value is defined over half the period. The average value expressed in terms of peak value is given by Average value = 0.637 × peak value
