in the short circuit test we applied supply voltage on L.V side and short circuit the H.V side and connect the ammeter in H.V circuit to measure the short circuit current.

with the help of s.c test we measure the copper losses in the Transformers.

Normally a high current flows through a short circuit even if there is no change to the voltage. Why is this?

A high current flows through a short circuit even if there is no voltage change because the resistance across the short circuit is zero.


Can a short circuit cause low voltage?

Most likely a short circuit will cause no voltage. Due to the high current on a short circuit fault the over current protection of the circuit will trip. This will cut the voltage supply off completely.


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.


Will voltage or current be higher in a circuit during short circuit?

Since a short circuit is, essentially, a zero impedance connection between nodes, the current in a short circuit is limited only by the ability of the source. In the case of an ideal voltage source connected to an ideal short circuit, you would have infinite amperes.


Why is the current high when the voltage is low?

This is describes the condition at the location a short-circuit fault.


What does downstream 02 sensor circuit volts high mean?

The circuit voltage is too high. Could be a failed sensor, wiring short, or PCM problem.


Why were instrument of a transformer placed on a high voltage side in short circuit test?

I assume "tension" in this question should be replaced with "voltage". Short circuit tests are often performed from the lower voltage side of the transformer, since a lower voltage source is then required to perform the test. Often times the test lab may not have a source that can output a high enough voltage to perform from the high voltage winding.


Why short circuit test is done at high voltage side?

1)Short circuit test is performed at rated current. As the rated current on high voltage side is much less than low voltage side, so the rated high voltage side current is easily achieved compared to low voltage side. 2)Also because we cannot short circuit high voltage side, as, if we short circuit high voltage side, voltage of high voltage side essentially falls to zero and since VI=constant, so the high voltage side current will be very high and will burn the winding.

When does short circuit happen?

When a voltage is present between two points in a circuit (electrical outlet, battery, etc.) it normally flows through a load of some resistance to do some work. If instead a pure conductor (usually metal) connects the two points separated by a voltage, a short circuit results. Current through the short circuit is very high and usually results in fire or failure unless protected by a circuit breaker. In low-voltage, low-power electronics a short circuit might not be dangerous but is usually undesirable.


How does the low-voltage circuit controls the power to the high-voltage circuit?

Through a relay or some other kind of high voltage switching device.
