winding voltage V1 to the secondary winding voltage V2 when no load is applied as follow

In an ideal transformer, there is no leakage in the magnetic field () flowing through the iron core and
since Faradays law states that "If a flux passes through a turn of a coil of wire, a voltage will be induced
in the turns of wire that is directly proportional to the rate of change in the flux with respect to time" so
that

thus

a= =

Moreover, the apparent power consumed in both sides of the transformer is the same such that

S1 = V1I1 = V2 I 2 = S2 (2.5)

then, it is clear that


V1 I 2
a= =
V2 I1 (2.6)

The exact equivalent circuit of a real transformer is shown in Figure 2.2 where V1 is the supply voltage
(primary), V2 is the load voltage (secondary), R1 and R2 are the winding internal resistances, X1 and X2
are the winding leakage reactances, Rm is the core loss resistance, Xm is the magnetizing reactance, and
a is transformer turns ratio. From Figure 2.2, the following relationship can be obtained

ZL = = =

then

ZL = a 2 Z L (2.8)

where ZL is the apparent impedance of the primary circuit of the transformer.

Open-Circuit Test
Introduction
In the open-circuit test, a transformers secondary windings is open circuited, and its primary windings is
connected to a full-rated line voltage. (Refer to the equivalent circuit in Figure 2.4). Under the
conditions described, all the input current must be flowing through the excitation branch of the
transformer. The series elements RP and XP are too small in comparison to RC and XM to cause a
significant voltage drop, so essentially all the input voltage is dropped across the excitation branch.

its secondary voltage
The open-circuit test connections are shown in Figure 2.5. Full line voltage is applied to the primary of
the transformer, and the input voltage, input current, and input power to the transformer are measured.

From this information, it's possible to determine the power factor of the input current and therefore both
the magnitude and the angle of the excitation impedance.

Figure 2.5: Open-circuit equivalent circuit

The easiest way to calculate the values of RC and XM is to look first at the admittance of the excitation
branch. The conductance of the core-loss resistor is given by:

1
GC = (2.9)
RC

And the susceptance of the magnetizating inductor is given by:

1
BM = (2.10)
XM

Since these two elements are in parallel, their admittances add, and the total excitation admittance is

1 1
YE = G C - jB M = -j (2.11)
R C XM

The magnitude of the excitation admittance (referred to the primary circuit) can be found from the open-
circuit test voltage and current as follows

I OC
YE = (2.12)
VOC

The angle of admittance can be found from the knowledge of the circuit power factor. The open circuit
power factor (PF) is given by
POC
PF = cos = (2.13)
I OC VOC
and the power factor angle is given by

-1 POC
= COS ( ) (2.14)
IOC VOC

The power factor is always lagging for a real transformer, so the angle of the current always lags the
angle of the voltage by . Therefore the admittance YE is

IOC
YE = COS-1PF (2.15)
VOC

Using the above equations, it is possible to determine the values of RC and XM directly from the open-
circuit test data.

Procedures
Using the lab equipments shown in Figure 2.3, do the following:
1. Connect the circuit shown in Figure 2.6.
2. Vary the applied voltage on the low voltage side from 220 to 150V.
3. Record the readings required in Table 2.1 and then calculate the power factor, I R C and I XM at no
load.

Short-Circuit Test
Introduction
In the short circuit test, the secondary terminals of the transformer are short-circuited, and the primary
terminals are connected to fairly low-voltages source, as shown in Figure 2.7.

Figure 2.7: Connection for transformer short-circuit test

The input voltage is adjusted until the current in the short-circuited windings is equal to its rated value
(be sure to keep the primary voltage at a safe level). Since the input voltage is too low during the short
circuit test, negligible current flows through the excitation branch. If the excitation current is ignored,
then all the voltage drop in the transformer can be attributed to the series elements in the circuit. The
magnitude of the series impedances referred to the primary side of the transformer is

VSC
ZSE = (2.16)
ISC

The power factor of the current is given by

PSC
PF = COS = (2.17)
ISC VSC

and is lagging. The current angle is thus negative, and the overall impedance angle is positive as

-1 PSC
= COS ( ) (2.18)
ISC VSC
therefore,
VSC 0o VSC o
ZSE = = (2.19)
ISC - o ISC

The series impedance ZSE is equal to

ZSE = R eq + jXeq = (R p + a 2 R s ) + j(X p + a 2 Xs ) (2.20)

It is possible to determine the total series impedance referred to the primary side by using this technique,
but there is no easy way to split the series impedance into primary and secondary components.
Fortunately, such separation is not necessary to solve normal problems.

These same tests may also be performed on the secondary side of the transformer if it is more
convenient to do so because of voltage levels or other reasons. If the tests are performed of the
secondary side, the results will naturally yield the equivalent circuit impedances referred to the
secondary side of the transformer instead if the primary side.

Procedures
Using the lab equipments shown in Figure 2.3, do the following:
1. Connect the circuit shown in Figure 2.8.
2. Increase the supply voltage gradually from zero until rated current is measured in the primary
winding.
3. Do all measurements and calculations needed to complete Table 2.2.
