Open circuit test:
1. The primary winding of the transformer is connected to a variable AC voltage source, while the secondary winding is left open.
2. The voltage applied to the primary winding is gradually increased until the rated voltage of the transformer is reached.
3. The primary current, voltage, and power are measured using appropriate instruments.
4. The power consumed in the primary winding is mainly due to core losses (eddy current and hysteresis losses) and a small amount of copper losses.
5. The core losses can be calculated by subtracting the copper losses from the total power consumed in the primary winding.
Short circuit test:
1. The primary winding of the transformer is connected to a variable AC voltage source, while the secondary winding is short-circuited.
2. The voltage applied to the primary winding is gradually increased until the rated current of the transformer is reached.
3. The primary current, voltage, and power are measured using appropriate instruments.
4. The power consumed in the primary winding is mainly due to copper losses.
5. The copper losses can be calculated by subtracting the core losses from the total power consumed in the primary winding.
By conducting these tests, the equivalent circuit parameters of the transformer can be determined, such as the equivalent resistance, reactance, and core losses. These parameters are essential for analyzing the performance and efficiency of the transformer under different operating conditions.

Open Circuit Test
Objective: Determine the open circuit parameters: excitation current, power, and impedance.
Procedure:
1. Disconnect the secondary winding from the load.
2. Apply rated voltage to the primary winding.
3. Measure the following:
- Primary voltage (V)
- Primary current (I)
- Input power (P)
- Power factor (PF)
Calculations:
- Excitation current: I
- Excitation power: P = V - I - PF
- Open circuit impedance: Zoc = V / I
Short Circuit Test
Objective: Determine the short circuit parameters: short circuit current, power, and impedance.
Procedure:
1. Short-circuit the secondary winding.
2. Apply reduced voltage to the primary winding to prevent excessive current.
3. Gradually increase the voltage until the rated current flows in the primary winding.
4. Measure the following:
- Primary voltage (V)
- Primary current (I)
- Input power (P)
- Power factor (PF)
Calculations:
- Short circuit current: I
- Short circuit power: P = V - I - PF
- Short circuit impedance: Zsc = V / I
Note:
- For both tests, the voltage and current should be measured at the primary winding.
- The open circuit test is typically performed at rated voltage, while the short circuit test is performed at a reduced voltage to prevent damage to the transformer.
- The results of these tests can be used to determine the transformer's efficiency, regulation, and other parameters.
