Before you start please read the following instructions carefully.
1. This assignment forms part of the formal assessment for this module. If
you fail to reach the required standard for the assignment then you will be
allowed to resubmit but a resubmission will only be eligible for a Pass
grade, not a Merit or Distinction.
You should therefore not submit the assignment until you are reasonably
sure that you have completed it successfully. Seek your tutor's advice if
unsure.
2. Ensure that you indicate the number of the question you are answering.
3. Make a copy of your answers before submitting the assignment.
4. Complete all details on the front page of this TMA and return it with
the completed assignment including supporting calculations where
appropriate. The preferred submission is via your TUOL(E) Blackboard
account:

(a) draw the connection diagram
(b) show how the connections must be modified to allow parallel
operation with a Yd11 transformer
(c) draw a phasor diagram for the modified connection.
2. In your own words, state the three essential and two highly desirable
conditions which must be fulfilled for two 3-phase transformers to
operate satisfactorily in parallel.
State briefly what you think may be the possible consequences of not
complying with these conditions.
3. (a) Two single-phase transformers have the following impedances
referred to the secondary side.
Unit A rated 250 kVA (0.09 + j2.7) Ω
Unit B rated 400 kVA (0.04 + j1.6) Ω
Determine the load taken by each machine as a percentage of its
rating when they share a common load of 500 kVA at 0.73 p.f. lag.

(0.09 + j0.18) Ω
Transformer B is rated at 200 kVA with an impedance of
(0.09 + j0.23) Ω
If these transformers are connected in parallel to supply a common
load, determine the percentage overload on B when A supplies its
full load at p.f. 0.45 lag.
4. From the operating chart shown in FIGURE 15 of lesson ESD - 2 - 2,
determine the following performance limitations for a generator:
(a) where the power limit and the MVA limit coincide;
(i) the power factor
(ii) the load angle
(iii) the MVAr output
(b) where the power limit and the stability margin coincide;
(i) the p.u. excitation
(ii) the MVA output.
