No. No load and short circuit is not similar.

No load can be 1) Either open circuit i.e. Only Potential is available and load is not connected 2) Load (i.e. motor etc ) is connected but not working with full load or full capacity. In this case the current will flow through the circuit depending on the load. It means No load condition is a condition where no current or a small ( relative / comparative term) current is flowing through the circuit.

In Short circuit the load side resistance/ impedance become so less that very high amount of current is passing through circuit.( The protection is therefor required for any circuit)

No load and and short circuit is not similar.

Thanks

What causes a short circuits?

-circuit damage -overheating -fire or explosion causes a short circuit.


What is dead short circuit?

A short circuit which offers very low, practically zero, fault resistance is called "dead short circuit". further more it bypasses the entire load current through itself.


What happens when the circuit is complete and the switches are closed?

*Look at the simple circuit illustrated in Figure A-2. What will happen when only switch S1 is closed? Correct Answer= "Nothing will happen-the light bulb won't light up." <<>> If there is a load in the circuit the load will operate. If there is no load in the circuit and it is complete then a short circuit will occur and something in the circuit will burn open. If the circuit is complete and there is a fuse or breaker in the circuit, then the fuse or breaker will open the circuit.


What is open circuit and short circuit?

Consider two points (A and B) in an electric circuit. An open circuit between A and B means there is no electrical connection between A and B. A short circuit between A and B means there is an electrical connection between A and B.


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.

Can inserting a resistor in a circuit have an effect similar to an short circuit?

It creates an extra load to the circuit if placed parallel to other circuits. this load approaches the equivalent of a short circuit as the resistance value placed there reduces.


What is a circuit with no load?

An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).

The bulb is the load of the circuit, without it you have a short circuit.

Incase of short circuit will the generator start or not?

Yes the generator engine will start and keep running. The generator has to start before the short circuit is sensed. What happens to the generator section on a short circuit condition is that the generator breaker will trip and disconnect the short circuit on the load. <<>> genarator will not start because of short circuit

What is the name given to a circuit that has a load or resistance total of 0.0 ohms?

In that case, the circuit is shorted, or short-circuited.


How do you find out no load and full load losses of Power Transformer?

By performing no load and short circuit tests. These are outlined in ANSII and IEEE literature.
