Why open circuit test on rated voltage?
it just happens that way retard
What is the purpose of open circuit test and short circuit test of a transformer?
An open-circuit test is done with the transformer running at its rated voltage but with no load. This measures the power lost in the magnetic core. (IR Losses) A short-circuit test is done with the transformer running at its full rated current in all windings but at a low voltage. The secondary is shorted and the primary voltage is adjusted to give the rated current. This measures the power lost in the copper windings. (Copper losses)
What will happen to the transformer if double the rated voltage is applied to the winding during the open circuit test?
no voltage will be induced on the secondary side of the motor as the windings will become saturated.
Why rated voltage is to be applied to primary for open circuit test?
Open circuit test on a transformer is usually performed to measure the IRON losses.Iron losses are produced due to eddy current and hysteresis losses. In open circuit test, the LV side, generaly the secondary winding, is kept open and the HV side, generaly the primary winding is fed with the rated voltage and frequency. The rated voltage is applied in order to setup normal flux in the transformer, which in return further produces the normal iron losses at rated voltage. the wattmeter connected at the primary side will show the power consumed due to iron losses. this calculation further utilized for determing the efficiency of transformer.
Why open circuit test is performed on low voltage side?
generally open circuit test is performed on the low voltage side.....not on high voltage side.... becuase on low voltage side, we can apply that low voltage very easily ( i.e with a less amount of source is required)... whereas on high voltage side, we need a large power source in order to apply full voltage... in short circuit test, we will test on high voltage side by keeping Low voltage side being short circuit.because high voltage side needs less current source than low voltage side....
Why is an open circuit test performed on the low voltage side of a single phase transformer?
You always need to apply rated voltage to the primary in open circuit test (oc test helps to find iron loss which depends on the voltage applied which remains constant)so with smaller voltage applied to the low voltage side rated voltage can be achieved in primary.Further,the ammeter ,voltmeter and wattmeter connected to the primary can be of lower rating.
What would the results of voltage drop test be if the circuit is open?
voltage drop is zero bcz in open ckt current will be zero
Open circuit and short circuit test?
Open circuit means the circuit is not continuous . A short circuit is continuous but has a fault connecting between either live to neutral or earth .As result of this we saw that this answer is unsufficent to explain short and open circuit on the other hand you can use this answer also like i did:)
What are the types of power transformer test?
open circuit & short circuit test, insulation resistance test, turns ratio, efficiency, if it is oil cooled then breakdown voltage of oil, voltage regulation and definitely visual inpection...
Where is the high side of transformer on open circuit test?
high voltage side call primary
Why high voltage is kept open in open circuit and low voltage is shorted in short circuit test?
In Short circuit test High Voltage side is feeded with 2-5% of the High Voltage rating to circulate approximately full load current in low voltage winding by short circuiting it. Low voltage is generally short circuited to facilitate measurements because it is more difficult to measure the quantities at high voltages.
Why open circuit test is done on the transformer with low voltage side shorted?
The supply is given on the high voltage side of transformer because the supply voltage required to circulate rated current through the transformer is usually very small So energy is saved.
