The short-circuit test runs the rated current through the windings of the transformer to measure the copper-loss, or power lost in the winding resistances.

Because the transformer is run at low voltage for this test, there is very little additional power loss in the iron core of the transformer.

Why rated current should flow in the secondary for short circuit test in transformer?

Open Circuit test is done to find out core losses of the transformers.which include Eddy Current Losses and Hysteresis Losses only, if during open circuit test secondary will have some load then I2R losses due to load current in secondary as well primary will be included in test results which is not desired while performing Open circuit test.


What is the standard output current of a transformer when connected to an ac?

There is no 'standard' output current from a transformer. The secondary (output) current depends on the load, and should not exceed the rated secondary current. To find the rated secondary current, you divide the transformer's rated volt amperes by the rated secondary voltage. The above cited answer need more descriptive ; a) V/Z = I, b) V/Z = I + Magnetizing current of the transformer taken from Primary side of the transformer.


What is the current of a 45 kva transformer?

Presumably, you are asking what is the rated secondary current for a 45 kV.A (not 'kva') transformer? The answer depends on its rated secondary voltage. To obtain the rated secondary current, you divide the (apparent) power rating by its secondary rated voltage.


What is current carrying for 2200kVA transformer?

Presumably you are asking about the rated secondary current of a transformer rated at 2200 kV.A?This depends on the rated secondary voltage. You divide the rated apparent power of the transformer by the rated secondary voltage.Of course, the actual current depends on the load.


What is short circuit ratio of an alternator?

Short circuit ratio is the ratio of field current required for the rated voltage at open circuit to the field current required for the rated armature current at short circuit


What is the secondary amps of 315kva transformer?

The secondary current is determined by the load, not by the transformer. But the load current mustn't continuously exceed the rated current of the secondary winding. To determine the secondary rated current, you need to know the rated secondary voltage of the transformer, and divide 315 kV.A by this figure.Incidentally, the correct symbol for 'kilovolt ampere' is 'kV.A', not 'kva'.


How do you calculate MVA rating of power transformer?

The product of the secondary rated current and the secondary rated voltage will give you the rated V.A of the transformer.


Why transformer is rated inkva?

Because it's the product of the transformer's rated secondary voltage and its rated secondary current. The product of voltage and current, in a.c., is the volt ampere.Incidentally, it's 'kV.A', not 'kva'.


What is the formula to calculate secondary current?

The secondary current is calculated by dividing the secondary current by the impedance of the load. This value shouldn't exceed the secondary-winding's rated current except for short periods of time.


What are the advantages of parallel connections?

parallel connection increases the current at constant voltage at the supply end & decreases the current flowing across the load.AnswerAny load will only operate at its rated power when subjected to its rated voltage.As each branch of a parallel circuit is subject to a common voltage, this enables individual loads to operate at their rated power. This is the primary advantage of a parallel circuit.A secondary advantage is that (unlike a series circuit) if one load should open circuit, then the remaining loads will continue to operate normally.


What is the maximum current capacity of the circuit breaker rated at 150 amp?

The maximum current capacity of a circuit breaker rated at 150 amps is 150 amps.


What is the secondary rating of a 50KVA transformer?

The secondary current is determined by the load, not by the transformer. For example, if the secondary voltage is 50 V and the load is 100 ohms, then the secondary current will be 0.5 A. If the load is 25 ohms, then the secondary current will be 2 A. It is important that a continuous secondary current doesn't exceed the rated secondary current of the transformer.
