What are the applications of equivalent circuit of a single phase transformer?
Lydianks
Equivalent circuits allow you to treat the transformer itself as being 'ideal', while treating its losses, etc., as external elements to which the normal laws of networks apply.

How do you draw an open and close circuit?
Engineers often use 'models' to represent the behaviour of complicated devices such as machines. In the case of transformers, these 'models' are more-usually called 'equivalent circuits' -schematic diagrams, using simple resistors and inductors, to simulate the operation of the transformer, and to help us construct the transformer's phasor diagrams. The simplest equivalent circuit, which can be considered a 'first approximation' of the transformer's behavioiur, is commonly called an 'ideal transformer', and only accounts for the transformer's ability to step up or step down the primary voltage and secondary current. The 'second approximation' equivalent circuit, takes into account the core losses and magnetising current. The 'third approximation' equivalent circuit takes into account the resistance and leakage reactance of the primary and secondary circuits, responsible for the regulation of the transformer, and it takes into account both the core losses and the copper losses. The 'third approximation' equivalent circuit, therefore, can be considered the most accurate equivalent circuit.
Would you install three-phase transformer or bank of three single phase transformer in a large power station and justify by comparing the two schemes?
A three-phase transformer bank is often used in power stations because it is easier to construct and transport very large single-phase transformers, compared with constructing and transforming an equivalent-capacity three-phase transformer.
What type of transformer has only a single winding?
the auto transformer is the one winding transformer. it ismaily used in practical purpose.
Can 3 single phase transformers can replace 1 three phase transformer?
Yes, you can use three single phase transformers on three phase applications and interconnect them to serve as a single transformer or you could use one single phase transformer fed from two of the three lines in a step down application.
What is the current of 1MVA transformer?
This depends on the voltage, and whether it is a three phase or single phase transformer.
What are the advantages of double wound transformer over a auto transformer?
The difference between a double wound step up transformer and an auto transformer is the double wound on the step up transformer and the single wound on the auto transformer.
What is the purpose of OC and SC tests on single phase transformer?
Open circuit and short circuit tests are performed to determine transformer characteristics. In the case of a single phase transformer, SC tests would be performed to determine the impedance. The open circuit test will give excitation information (% excitation at specific voltages, often 90%, 100% and 110%, and no load losses).
What is the purpose of auto transformer?
Helps with the starting of large electric motors.AnswerAn autotransformer is a transformer with a single winding, rather than two separate windings. It can be used as a step-up or as a step-down transformer, provided there is no requirement for electrically-isolating the secondary circuit from the primary circuit.
What is a single resistor the represents a complex circuit?
Equivalent Resistor
How do you figure out maximum current of a 240V transformer circuit?
Your best bet is to go to Acme Transformer on the web and once you are on their web page select how do I rate a transformer, they have everything single phase 3 phase step up step down.

Does a battery operated toy have a parallel circuit?
Yes, a battery operated toy has a parallel circuit - the battery is in parallel with the toy. In fact, this is true for any system where there is a single equivalent source and a single equivalent load. While it is true that this is also a series circuit, by Kirchoff's current and voltage laws a simple series circuit is also a simple parallel circuit.
What is the difference between transformers and autotransformers?
A transformer or, more-properly, a mutual transformer, has two windings, the primary and the secondary, which are electrically-isolated from each other, with the secondary voltage induced through mutual induction. An autotransformerconsists of one tapped winding, so the secondary circuit is not electrically isolated from the primary circuit. An autotransformer may be used to either increase or decrease the primary voltage, depending how it is connected.

Is it possibal to use step up transformer in place of and step down transformer?
Transformers are just as efficient in step up or step down applications. Transformers for transforming 480 to 240 single and three phase can be reverse connected. The label may have it listed as a step down 480 to 240, but you can connect 240 supply to the secondary side and get 480 out of it. I have had several applications where I have done this and the transformers performed with no problems. Another good source of information for transformer applications and connections is the manufacturers themselves.
What is a Thevenin's equivalent circuit consists of?
A Thevenin's equivalent circuit is a single voltage source in series with a single resistor. It is electrically the same as any combination of voltage sources, current sources, and resistors that, as a black box, has two terminals. The technique is useful in simplifying circuits, when analyzing them.
Why you use upf wattmeter for short circuit test on load test on single phase transformer?
If, by 'upf', you mean 'unity power factor', then allwattmeters measure the in-phase component of the load current, so the term is quiet unnecessary.A short-circuit test is used to determine the (true) power loss in the transformer, which is exactly what a wattmeter measures
