6.OC and SC Test On Single Phase Transformer

This document describes procedures for conducting open circuit (OC) and short circuit (SC) tests on a single phase transformer. The OC test measures the transformer's no-load efficiency by applying rated voltage and recording voltage, current, and power readings. The SC test determines regulation by applying a low voltage and recording voltage, current, and power when rated current flows. Equivalent circuits are drawn referred to the low voltage and high voltage sides, and calculations are shown for determining efficiency at various loads and power factors along with percent regulation. Graphs of efficiency vs output and regulation vs power factor are also plotted.

FSD = Full scale divisions
Precautions:
(1) Connections must be neat and tight.
(2) 1-Ph Variac should be in minimum output position before switching ON the
supply.
(3) Readings are to be taken without any parallax error.
4. DPST switch should be open initially:
Procedure: For OC Test:
(1) Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram shown in Fig.6.1.
(2) Keep the 1-Ph variac in minimum output position and switch ON the supply.
(3) Apply the rated voltage to the transformer by properly adjusting the variac.
(4) Note down the readings of various meters and switch OFF the supply.
For SC Test:

(1) Connect the n minimum output position and switch ON the supply
(2) Apply proper voltage (low voltage) to the transformer by adjusting the variac
such that rated current flows through the transformer.
(3) Note down the readings of various meters and switch OFF the supply.
