1 A standard transformer has a rating of 60 kVA. The primary and secondary voltages are rated respectively at 600 V and 120 V. (4) a. What is the rated current for each winding?

The rated current for the 600V side is I = 100 A and the rated current for the 120 V side is 500 A.

Explanation:

For standard transformers they step up or down the level of voltage while maintaning the power output (ideally). So the same power output should be seen on both sides, since the equation for apparent power is P = V*I we can solve for I on both sides and find the rated current. So we have:

600 V side:

P = V*I

I = P/V = (60*10^3)/600 = 100 A

120 V side:

P = V*I = (60*10^3)/120 = 500 A

Given Information:

Apparent power = S = 60 kVA

Primary Voltage = V₁ = 600 V

Secondary Voltage = V₂ = 120 V

Required Information:

Primary Current = I₁ = ?

Secondary Current = I₂ = ?

Primary Current = I₁ = 100 A

Secondary Current = I₂ = 500 A

Explanation:

Transformer: an electrical device that works on the principle of electromagnetic induction to either step up or step down the voltages. There is no physical connection between the primary and secondary winding.

The apparent power in primary and secondary winding is given by

S = V₁I₁

S = V₂I₂

Current in Primary winding:

I₁ = S/V₁

I₁ = 60,000/600

I₁ = 100 A

Current in Secondary winding:

I₂ = S/V₂

I₂ = 60,000/120

I₂ = 500 A

Bonus:

Please note that the voltage is stepped down from 600 V primary to 120 V secondary but at the same time the current is stepped up from 100 A primary to 500 A secondary. This is due to the fact that the power must be conserved.

elly's long hair:

a. if the salon only takes cash, then this isn't the problem. it doesn't matter how much she has in her checking account.   she can't get a haircut until she has the cash.

b. if she has overdraft protection, then there's no problem.   she can go ahead and write a check that her account can't cover, then sometime later, pay the bank some outrageous usury for loaning her a few bucks for a few days, but with beautiful hair.

c. if elly has some principles, and doesn't want to write a bad check, then now she has a problem.   her desire for the new hairstyle is in conflict with her honesty and integrity.

d.   if the bank will not process a check she writes, then even if she had a million $$ in her account, she couldn't use any of it.   the amount she has in her account is not the problem.   and if i may suggest, she might as well close her checking account, and put the money where it'll work for her.   it's not doing her a bit of good in a checking account, since she can't write any checks.

justin can't pay the full balance:

a. he can't even handle the credit limit he has now.   under no circumstances should he ask for a higher limit.

b.   he can ask for the grace period to be extended.   but that's no solution, the bank will almost certainly refuse anyway, and there are much better options.   he knew the rules of his credit card when he started using it.

c.   he definitely should pay the interest on the balance, plus as much of the balance as he can cover at the same time.

d.   he definitely should pay the minimum otherwise they could shut down his card.   he should also pay as much more as he possibly can.   he should also remember the awkward situation he's in, stop buying stuff on credit that he can't afford, and avoid adding any more debt.

i'd say that justin's best best option isn't on this list of choices.   what he has to do:   pay as much as he can at least the minimum payment plus as much more as he can and then avoid adding more debt.
