Help with Transformer Lab Question - Electrical Power Engineering
Hi, I did a lab experiment and I can't work out how to calculate the final question.
The Q is:
3 resistors in parallel of values 950ohms, 1950ohms and 3770ohms are used to load the secondary side of the 230V, 100VA transformer.
Running this in the lab i got values of 41.15mA for off load primary current, 484mA for full-load primary current and 420mA for full load secondary current.
How do I use these results to calculate the load resistance required for the transformer that would draw a rated current of 0.435A from the secondary?
Thanks
