Open Circuit Test on Transformer
Short Circuit Test
These two tests are performed on a transformer to determine (i) equivalent circuit of transformer (ii) voltage
regulation of transformer(iii) efficiency of transformer. The power required for these open circuit test and short
circuit test on transformer is equal to the power loss occurring in the transformer.

The LV side of the transformer is short circuited. Now with the help of variac applied voltage is slowly increased until
the ammeter gives reading equal to the rated electric current of the HV side. After reaching at rated electric current
of HV side, all three instruments reading (Voltmeter, Ammeter and Watt-meter readings) are recorded. The
ammeter reading gives the primary equivalent of full load electric current IL. As the voltage applied for full load
electric current in short circuit test on transformer is quite small compared to the rated primary voltage of the
transformer, the core losses in transformer can be taken as negligible here.
Lets say, voltmeter reading is Vsc . The input power during test is indicated by watt-meter reading. As the
transformer is short circuited, there is no output; hence the input power here consists of copper losses in
transformer. Since, the applied voltage V sc is short circuit voltage in the transformer and hence it is quite small
compared to rated voltage, so core loss due to the small applied voltage can be neglected. Hence the wattmeter
