Solution

To find the peak value of the load current, we first need to find the peak value of the secondary voltage.

Step 1: Calculate the secondary voltage The transformation ratio is 6:1:1, which means the primary voltage is divided by 6 to get the secondary voltage. So, the secondary voltage is 230V/6 = 38.33V.

Step 2: Calculate the peak value of the secondary voltage The peak value of a sinusoidal waveform is √2 times the RMS value. So, the peak value of the secondary voltage is 38.33V * √2 = 54.19V.

Step 3: Calculate the peak value of the load current The load current is the secondary voltage divided by the load resistance. So, the peak value of the load current is 54.19V / 5.4 Ohm = 10.03A.

So, the peak value of the load current would be approximately 10.03A.
