don't overload it, have a look on the transformer their should be an input voltage and an output voltage if take fails just try and see if u can overload it when you do try and figure out the voltage and get a new transformer;)!!!!!

How to calculate the short circuit current of circuit breaker or cable?

A short circuit study is required for that, modeling the electrical system. The short circuit current is also directly dependent on the location of the building system relative to the power grid and type of transformer bringing power into the building. For starters and keeping it "basic" look for Cooper Bussman's Point to Point Method of Short-Circuit Calculation. That is a good start and depending on what you need a good start. Remember to contact the utility company for available fault current, type of voltage transformer, transformer impedance and size. If you want to get technical, get SKM's software (expensive though). With it you can go several steps further into short circuit analysis, selective coordination and finally arc-flash protection. Hope this helped. JP Ross, Professional Engineer


What is a Winding Short Circuit?

When 2 turns of an inductor or transformer short together.


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.


Can one intentionally short ct to one side of transformer?

yes........ we can short circuit the other side of the winding wen the primary is excited.... but we shouldn't apply rated voltage to the primary.. this method is used in the short circuit test of the transformer to find the parameters of the transformer.....


Why don't AC input wires to a transformer just short circuit?

The resistance of the winding in the primary of a transformer constitutes a load. As long as there is resistance then there is no short circuit. A short circuit is considered no resistance which develops an instantaneous high current. That is why fuses and breakers are inserted into the circuit to open the high current flow under a short circuit condition.


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.


Why the open and short ckt test of transformer is needed?

The open/short-circuit test on a transformer isn't 'needed'. It's only used if you want to find out the efficiency of a transformer.

Why does a phase in secondary side in distribution transformer give low voltage?

transformer is busted; if input voltage is normal you have short circuit or open circuit somewhere
