    This document discusses transformer tests, including open circuit and short circuit tests. [1] The open circuit test is conducted with the secondary winding open and the primary connected to line voltage, allowing measurement of core loss, no load current, and excitation conductance and susceptance. [2] The short circuit test connects the secondary to a low voltage source until the current equals rated value, permitting measurement of copper loss, impedance, and resistance to determine efficiency and voltage regulation. [3] These economical tests determine transformer parameters without actual loading.

    Tests

    Transformer Tests
     The performance of a transformer can be calculated on the basis of equivalent
    circuit

     The four main parameters of equivalent circuit are:

    • The equivalent resistance R01 as referred to primary (or secondary R02)


    • The equivalent leakage reactance X01 as referred to primary (or secondary X02)
    • Magnetising susceptance B ( or reactance XM)
    • core loss conductance G (or resistance RC)

     The above constants can be easily determined by two tests

    - Open circuit test (O.C test / No load test)


    - Short circuit test (S.C test/Impedance test)

     These tests are economical and convenient


    - these tests furnish the result without actually loading the transformer

    Open-circuit Test
    In Open Circuit Test the transformer’s secondary winding is open-circuited, and
    its primary winding is connected to a full-rated line voltage.

    Short-circuit Test
    In Short Circuit Test the secondary terminals are short circuited, and the
    primary terminals are connected to a fairly low-voltage source
    The input voltage is adjusted until the current in the short circuited windings
    is equal to its rated value. The input voltage, current and power is
    measured.
