(a)

The magnetizing current of the transformer is

"I_m=I_o\\sin\\phi\\\\\nI_o=7A\\\\\n\\cos\\phi=0.3\\\\\n\\phi=\\cos^{-1}0.3\\\\\n\\phi=72.5\\degree\\\\\n\\sin\\phi=0.95\\\\\nI_m=7\\times 0.95=6.68A \\\\"

(b)

The magnetizing reactance of the transformer is

"X_o=\\frac{E_1}{I_m}\\\\\nE_1=3300V\\\\\nI_m=6.68A\\\\\nX_o=\\frac{3300}{6.68}\\\\\nX_o=494\\Omega"

(c)The core loss current of the transformer is

"I_w=I_o\\cos\\phi\\\\\nI_w=7\\times 0.3\\\\\nI_w=2.1A\\\\"

(d) The core loss resistance of the transformer is

"R_o=\\frac{E_1}{I_w}\\\\\nR_o=\\frac{3300}{2.1}\\\\\nR_o=1571.4\\Omega\\\\"

(e) The iron losses of the transformewr is

"P_i=I_w^2R_o\\\\\nP_i=2.1^2\\times1571.4\\\\\nP_i=6390W\\\\"

(f) The primary current I1 if the load on the secondary is 80 A at a power factor of 0.85 leading is calculated as follows

"\\phi_1=72.5\\degree\\\\\n\\phi_2=\\cos^{-1}0.85=31.8\\degree\\\\\n\\phi=72.5+31.8=104.3\\degree\\\\\nI_2'=(K)I_2\\\\\nK=\\frac{400}{3300}=\\frac{4}{33}\\\\\nI_2=80A\\\\\nI_2'=9.7A"

"I_1=\\sqrt{I_o^2+I_2'^2+2I_oI_2'+\\cos\\phi}\\\\\nI_1=\\sqrt{7^2+9.7^2+2(7)(9.7)+\\cos104.3}\\\\\nI_1=16.7A"
