sol'n: (a) Transformer is ideal. To distinguish currents in the transformer itself from
other currents, we use a prime to denote the transformer currents. The
current flowing into the dot on the primary side is I ′ 1
, and the current
flowing out of the dot on the secondary side is I ′ 2

Using the above model, we can derive the formula (or we can just look up
the formula) for secondary impedance reflected into the primary:

Our model, given N 1 /N 2 = 1/2 turns ratio, is:

sol'n: (b) Our first step is to convert our circuit to a Y – Y form so we can use a single-
phase equivalent model. In this problem, the circuit is already in Y – Y form
and we may draw the single-phase equivalent directly:

We find V AN and then calculate V AB using phasor diagrams. We obtain
AN from the voltage divider formula:

We use a phasor diagram to relate V AN to V AB
. The diagram shows the
relationship between V AN and V AB , and we assume V AN has phase angle
zero so we can find the relative phase angle of V AB
