What is principle of Current transformer?
why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current 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
What are the disadvantages of a double wound transformer?
There is no disadvantage with a current transformer -it does exactly what it's supposed to do, that is:reduce the current flowing in the primary circuit to a value that can be handled by its burden (ammeter or protective relay).electrically-isolate its secondary circuit from the primary circuit.
How current transformer measure current?
A current transformer doesn't 'measure current'. It merely reduces a large current flowing through its primary to a smaller current which can be read by an ammeter connected to its secondary. At the same time, it electrically isolates the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, which is essential if the primary circuit is part of a high-voltage system.
How do you carry open circuit test on power transformer?
A Linear power transformer coil? use an Ohm meter and check the resistance of the coils. No resistance is an open circuit. Also check for a cross circuit from one side of the transformer to the other.

What are the voaltg in isolation transformer?
The function of an isolation transformer is to electrically-isolate the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, without changing the voltage levels. So, its secondary voltage will be the same as the primary voltage.

When the transformer is connected to the power source the secondary current is 0 what is the possible fault in the transformer?
A secondary current of 0 would suggest to me that the secondary circuit is open. A normally operating circuit with zero current flow would be very unusual. No load in secondary circuit. No secondary current can also be attributed to the primary power source open or an open primary winding.
What are the approximation of open circuit and short circuit test of transformer?
A short-circuit test is done to determine the power lost in the resistance of the primary and secondary windings of the transformer. It is done at full load current but with only enough voltage to give the required current with the secondary short circuited. An open-circuit test is done at full load voltage but no current is taken from the secondary, and this enables the power lost in the magnetic core of the transformer to be measured. As well a power, the tests also allow the inductances to be measured as well as the resistances, in order ot characterise the transformer fully.
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 base voltage in a transformer circuit?
depends on the type of trans former.buck or boost.primary winding a secondary winding

Why should the secondary of a voltage transformer not be short circuited?
A voltage transformer takes a primary voltage and steps it down to a smaller secondary voltage. This type of transformer will attempt to keep the secondary voltage at a specific ratio of the primary voltage. If you short it, massive current flow in the secondary is required to do this. For a similar reason a CT should never be open circuited - because it attempts to push a specific ratio of primary current through the secondary. If you open circuit the secondary, it takes a massive voltage on the secondary to accomplish this.
What losses can be measured in a short circuit test of a transformer?
Winding copper losses of a transformer can be measured in a short circuit test of a transformer. Impedance voltage is given to the primary and the secondary is often shortcircuited. (some times the reverse is done of this). Full load currents are made to flow in both primary and secondary circuits. This current flow heats up the 2 windings of the transformer. Power consumed at this time gives the transformer copper losses.
