Problem Set No. 2: Transformer Equivalent Circuit

The document describes three problems related to calculating equivalent circuit values for distribution transformers. Problem 1 involves calculating equivalent resistance, reactance, and impedance values in secondary and primary terms given transformer specifications. Problem 2 involves calculating equivalent voltage drops in secondary and primary terms given a load current. Problem 3 involves calculating the leakage reactance and resistance of the low voltage winding given specifications for a 500 kVA transformer.
