Answer Posted / swayanjit

kw IS THE ACTIVE POWER. IT IS THE POWER THAT CONSUMED BY THE
LOAD BUT KVA IS THE APPARENT POWER.
KVA=(KW/POWER FACTOR)

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
