UNIT-3 TRANSFORMERS
Open Circuit and Short Circuit Test on Transformer
Open Circuit Test

The purpose of the open circuit test is to determine the no-load current and losses of the
transformer because of which their no-load parameter are determined. This test is performed
on the primary winding of the transformer. The watmeterr ammeter and the voltage are
connected to their primary winding. The nominal rated voltage is supplied to their primary
winding with the help of the ac source.

The secondary winding of the transformer is kept open and the voltmeter is connected to their
terminal. This voltmeter measures the secondary induced voltage. As the secondary of the
transformer is open the no-load current fows through the primary winding.

The value of no-load current is very small as compared to the full rated current. The copper loss
occurs only on the primary winding of the transformer because the secondary winding is open.
The reading of the watmeter only represents the core and iron losses. The core loss of the
transformer is same for all types of loads.

Calculaton of open circuit test

Letr

W0 – watmeter reading

V1 – voltmeter reading

I0 – ammeter reading

Then the iron loss of the transformer Pi = W0 and

The no-load power factor is

Working component Iw is

Putting the value of W0 from the equaoon (1o in equaoon (2o you will get the value of working
component as

Magneozing component is

No load parameters are given below


Equivalent exciong resistance is

Equivalent exciong reactance is

The phasor diagram of transformer at no load or when an open circuit test is performed is
shown below

The iron losses measured by the open circuit test is used for calculaong the efciency of the
transformer.
