Sumpner's Test

(1) The document describes Sumpner's test, which is conducted to determine the efficiency and regulation of a single-phase transformer by performing a back-to-back test. (2) It lists the required apparatus, formulas used to calculate parameters like copper loss, core loss, and efficiency. (3) The procedure involves connecting the transformer under test back to back with another transformer, supplying voltage to one and measuring voltage, current, power on both sides to derive the equivalent circuit model and performance parameters.

Wo
Wo = V1I1 Cos o

Io

o = Cos-1 ---------

I1 = ---- A

V1 I1

Iw = I1 Coso

I = I1 Cos

V2 = Vs/2 x A

Ro = V1 / Iw

Xo = V1 / I

Ro2 = Wc / I22

Xo2 = Zo22 Ro22


Copper loss at various loads = I22 Ro2
PERCENTAGE REGULATION:
1. Upf : I2 / V (Ro2 Coso) X 100

2. Lagging pf : I2 / V (Ro2 Coso + Xo2Sino) X 100

3. Leading pf : I2 / V (Ro2 Coso - Xo2Sino) X 100


Output Power

(1) Upf : 3Kw


(2) Pf : 3Kw Coso

Input Power = Output Power + Core loss + Cu loss

Zo2 = V2 / I2

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Auto Transformer whose variac should be in zero position, before switching on the ac
supply.
2. Transformer should be operated under rated values.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Rated voltage of 110V is adjusted to get in voltmeter by adjusting the variac of the Auto
Transformer which would be in zero before switching on the supply at the primary side.
3. The readings of voltmeter, ammeter and wattmeter are noted on the primary side.
4. A voltmeter is connected across the secondary and with the secondary supply off i.e
switch S is kept open. The voltmeter reading is noted.
5. If the reading of voltmeter reads higher voltage, the terminals of any one of secondary
coil is interchanged in order that voltmeter reads zero.
6. The secondary is now switched on and SPST switch is closed with variac of auto
transformer is zero.
7. After switching on the secondary the variac of transformer (Auto) is adjusted so that full
load rated secondary current flows.
8. Then the readings of wattmeter, Ammeter and voltmeter are noted.
9. The Percentage Efficiency and percentage regulation are calculated and equivalent circuit
is drawn.

MODEL GRAPHS:

RESULT:
Thus the efficiency and regulation of a given single phase Transformer is carried out by
conducting back-to-back test and the equivalent circuit parameters are found out.
