• Calculate Is for a 80/40 V ideal single-phase transformer with a 80 V

source with Rp = 8 Ω and Rs = 8 Ω
• There are several methods of doing the above exercise:
 Ohm's law and transformer action - Can also be called Kirchoff’s
loop voltage law, i.e. the sum of the voltages in a loop is zero
 N2 effect
 Per unit system, which will have an inherent N2 factor
• After getting the solution, a good engineer will do a logical check of
the results by making sure that the various voltages make sense99
