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.

Why low power factor wattmeter is used for open circuit test of transformer?

For open circuit test of transformer, the secondary is open circuit and the circuit impedance is largely inductive due to the core impedance having high L as compared to R. hence the power factor is reduced, thus , we use low power factor wattmeters.


What is the reason to use open circuit and short circuit methods to find Transformer losses?

The transformer can be tested on open and short circuit to find the iron losses and copper losses separately, which uses a fraction of the power than having to run the transformer on full-load.


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.


How will be conduct test on transformer?

Short circuit test and open circuit test are widely used to test the efficiency of the transformer.


Why us the power measured during the open circuit test considered to be approximately equal to the core loss?

During open circuit test on transformer, no load is connected across the secondary side. Hence, the total power drawn by the transformer is only to induce the voltage across the secondary, i.e., core loss AND negligible amount of primary copper loss. As the primary copper losses during open circuit are negligible, it is practice to attribute the open circuit power to core loss.


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 does reading of wattmeter indicate in case of open circuit test of transformer?

In case of open circuit test of transformers we measure iron losses and hence the power lost here is being measured by the wattmeter.


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)


Why the open and short ckt test of transformer is needed?

The open/short-circuit test on a transformer isn't 'needed'. It's only used if you want to find out the efficiency of a transformer.


How current transformer get burn when open circuit happens?

Because of fire


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


Function of no-load in transformer in a open-circuit?

To calculate the no load current from transformer & core loss is also calculated.
