(a) Draw a well-labelled equivalent circuit of a two-winding transformer referred to the
secondary circuit. Use the subscript ‘s’ for all secondary quantities and the subscript ‘p’
for all primary quantities. Use the “ ‘ “ (prime) to indicate referred quantities. Assume the
transformer is loaded with a load, ZL. (6 marks)

(b) A 4000/400 V, 10 kVA two-winding transformer has primary and secondary winding
resistances of 13 Ω and 0.15 Ω, respectively. The leakage reactance referred to the
primary is 45 Ω. The magnetizing impedance referred to the primary is 6 kΩ and the
resistance corresponding to the core loss is 12 kΩ. (i) Determine the total resistance
referred to the primary and the values of all impedances referred to the secondary. (ii)
