2. Transformer test
• The performance of a transformer can be calculated on the
basis of equivalent circuit.
• The four main parameters of equivalent circuit are:
• - R01 as referred to primary (or secondary R02)
• - the equivalent leakage reactance X01 as referred to
primary (or secondary X02)

3. • - Magnetising susceptance B0 ( or reactance X0)
• - core loss conductance G0 (or resistance R0)
• The above constants can be easily determined by
two tests
1. OC Test
2. SC Test

4. • - 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

5. 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.

6. Usually conducted on H.V side
• To find
(i) No load loss or core loss
(ii) No load current Io which is helpful in finding Go(or
Ro ) and Bo (or Xo )

7. Short-circuit Test
• Secondary terminals are short circuited
• Primary terminals are connected to a fairly low-voltage
source.

8. • Usually conducted on L.V side
• To find
(i) Full load copper loss – to pre determine the
efficiency
(ii) Z01 or Z02; X01 or X02; R01 or R02 - to predetermine
the voltage regulation

10. Losses in transformer
• Core loss (iron loss)
- due to hysteresis.
• Copper loss (I2R loss)
-Resistive heating.

11. Core loss (iron loss)
• Copper losses are the resistive heating losses
in the primary and secondary windings of the
transformer.
• Hysteresis loss =

• Iron loss- Due to voltage
• Copper loss-Due to current

14. Regulation of transformer
• Full load Voltage Regulation is a quantity that compares the
output voltage at no load with the output voltage at full load.
