What is boost transformer in railway??

Answer Posted / nitin khatana

because the line in traction system are very long distances so there is voltage drop across line to boost up this voltage we connect an autotransformer which is placed at some distances from other for compensate this voltage drop we used transformer.

A 400 V, 50 Hz, Δ connected synchronous generator has a field reactance of 0.1 Ω and armature resistance of 0.015 Ω. At full load, the machine supplies 1200 A at 0.8 pf lagging. Under full-load conditions, the friction and windage losses are 40 KW and the core losses are 30 KW. What is the machine’s overall efficiency? Ignore any field circuit losses.
