62. A 1 kVA, 200/100 V, 50 Hz, single-phase transformer gave the following test results on 50 Hz:

OC (LV side): 100 V, 20 watts

SC (HV side): 5 A, 25 watts

It is assumed that no-load loss components are equally divided. The above tests were then conducted on the same transformer at 40 Hz.

Tests results were

OC (HV): 160 V, W1 watts

SC (LV): 10 A, W2 watts

Neglecting skin effect, W1 and W2 will be

  1. W1 = 16 watts, W2 = 25 watts
  2. W1 = 25 watts, W2 = 31.25 watts
  3. W1 = 20 watts, W2 = 20 watts
  4. W1 = 14.4 watts, W2 = 25 watts
