Why you use upf wattmeter for short circuit test on load test on single phase transformer?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
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

Single phase and three phase circuit?
Yes, there is a difference between single phase and three phase circuits.
What function does the neutral serve when the supply is single phase in a wye connection?
In a single-phase circuit like a house fed from 4-wire three phase in the street, the current flows in the live and neutral wires. The neutral currents from a street of houses are expected to cancel each other so that the overall current in the neutral leaving the transformer is small.
What is the advantage of an open delta transformer?
An open-delta connection is a method of providing a three-phase supply, using two single-phase transformers. It is particularly useful if , say, one single-phase transformer, part of a three single-phase transformers forming a three-phase transformer bank, becomes damaged -allowing the two remaining transformers to provide a temporary three-phase supply to the load. The drawback with this connection is that the capacity of the transformer bank is reduced, and it can only provide a lower load current.
Procedure for sumpners test?
Procedure for sumpners test is the single phase transformer. This is a back to back test.
What is kva rating of single phase transformer?
This is the rated output of the transformer, obtained by multiplying the rated secondary voltage by the rated secondary current. And it's 'kV.A', not 'kva'.
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).
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.
What is the current of 1MVA transformer?
This depends on the voltage, and whether it is a three phase or single phase transformer.
How do you convert a 3-phase system to a single phase?
By having a transformer with 3 phase input and single phase out put
What position in the circuit is a fuse placed to protect a transformer?
In series to every phase winding of transformer.
Why the need of harmonics in single phase transformer?
Harmonics are really not needed in single phase transformers.
What is this system called with three single phase transformer?
Your question is rather vague. If you are asking what do you call a group of single-phase transformers, connected to supply three phase, then the answer is a 'three-phase transformer bank'.
Can a standard 40 amp 208-240 volt single phase oven be wired to a 240 volt three phase circuit without using a transformer?
See Discussion Page
How you differentiate between single phase and three phase transformer?
A single-phase transformer works with a single-phase supply, while a 3-phase transformer is used with a 3-phase supply. A single-phase transformer has 2 wires on the primary and secondary (ignoring taps) while a 3-phase tansformer has 3 or 4 wires on the primary and secondary.
What is the difference between single phase circuit and tree phase circuit?
single phase have 2 wire treephase have 3, and 4 wires
Can you use 3 phase circuit as 3 separate single phase circuit?
yes we can use as a single phase circuit because at practise directly the 3-phase circuit is made by combining the three single phase circuits
How do you design a transformer with three phase 400v input and single phase 2000v output?
By design are you going to wind the transformer yourself? In your design you need a 5:1 ratio. On the output side of the transformer any two legs of a three phase transformer is considered single phase voltage. Good luck on your project.
