Best Answer

the SCT is used to provide excitation during short circuit conditions. under Short Circuit the voltage may drop below threshold level causing field current to drop, to avoid over excitation by the AVR, the short circuit provides the excitation energy required to maintain a voltage that allows protective devices to operate and isolate the fault.

the SCT is open under normal operating condition

What type of a device is used to increase or decrease the voltage in an electric circuit?

A transformer. A small example is the coil in a motorcar. A transformer, in a power line, only changes voltage in one direction under normal usage. At distribution voltages, about 8360 VAC, the voltage is monitored by a regulator. A regulator either increases or decreases the voltage automatically to insure the desired voltage is steady. This regulated voltage is then fed to transformers to provide customers with a regulated voltage at the desired voltage.

What are the purposes of performing no load test for the transformer?

These two tests are performed on a transformer to determine (i) equivalent circuit of transformer(ii)voltage regulation of transformer(iii) efficiency of transformer. The power required for theseOpen Circuit test and Short Circuit test on transformeris equal to the power loss occurring in the transformer.

What is the reason to use open circuit and short circuit methods to find Transformer losses?

The transformer can be tested on open and short circuit to find the iron losses and copper losses separately, which uses a fraction of the power than having to run the transformer on full-load.
