Why is the wattmeter connected at the primary side of the transformer?

In general, you can install a wattmeter on the primary or the secondary side of a transformer (it depends what you are trying to measure). But if you are conducting an open- and short-circuit test (to find the transformer's losses), then the wattmeter is connected to the primary side because you want to measure the total (primary + secondary) losses and that is only achievable from the primary side.


Difference between input and output transformer?

The 'input' side of a transformer is called its 'primary' side, whereas the 'output' side is termed its 'secondary' side. The ratio of its secondary to primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary windings to the number of turns in the primary winding. So if, for example, a transformer's secondary winding has twice as many turns as its primary winding, then the secondary winding will produce twice the voltage applied to the primary winding.

If a dc voltage of 12v is added to the secondary of step down transformer and rating of transformer is 220 input and 12v output what will be the result from primary of transformer?

Adding a DC voltage to the secondary of a transformer will not have an effect on the primary side, as transformers work on the principle of electromagnetic induction which is based on alternating current. The primary side of the transformer will still operate based on the input AC voltage of 220V. The DC voltage on the secondary side will not be transferred to the primary side.


Where is the high side of transformer on open circuit test?

OLTC - INSTALLED IN THE PRIMARY SIDE OF A POWER TRANSFORMER TO SELECT OR ADJUST VOLTAGE. THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS IS FOR SOLVING THE VOLTAGE DROP ISSUES IN THE SECONDARY OUTPUT IN THE FARTHEST LOCATION. FOR EXAMPLE YOUR SECONDARY VOLTAGE REQUIREMENT IS 380 VOLTS AND YOU CAN ADJUST TO 400 VOLTS FOR LONG CABLE RUNS.
