Parameter determination of the transformer • Open circuit test – Provides magnetizing reactance and core resistance – Obtain components are connected in parallel loss

Experiment Setup: In the open circuit test, transformer rated voltage is applied to the primary voltage side of the transformer with the secondary side left open. Measurements of power, current, and voltage are made on the primary side. Since the secondary side is open, the input current IOC is equal to the excitation current through the shunt excitation branch. Because this current is very small, about 5% of rated value, the voltage drop across the secondary winding and the winding copper losses are neglected.

Admittance Open circuit Power Factor Angle of current always lags angle of voltage by q

Short circuit test – Provides combined leakage reactance and winding resistance – Obtain components are connected in series

Experiment Setup: In the short circuit test, the secondary side is short circuited and the primary side is connected to a variable, low voltage source. Measurements of power, current, and voltage are made on the primary side. The applied voltage is adjusted until rated short circuit currents flows in the windings. This voltage is generally much smaller than the rated voltage.

Exercise The equivalent circuit impedances of a 20 -k. VA, 8000/240 -V, 60 Hz transformer are to be determined. The open circuit test and the short circuit test were performed on the primary side of the transformer and the following data were taken: Open- circuit test (on primary) Short- circuit test (on primary) Voc = 8000 V Vsc = 489 V Ioc = 0. 214 A Isc = 2. 5 A Poc = 400 W Psc = 240 W Find the impedances of the approximate equivalent circuit referred to the primary side and sketch that circuit

Per unit System The per unit value of any quantity is defined as Quantity – may be power, voltage, current or impedance

Two major advantages in using a per unit system: 1. It eliminates the need for conversion of the voltages, currents, and impedances across every transformer in the circuit; thus, there is less chance of computational errors. 2. The need to transform from three phase to single phase equivalents circuits, and vise versa, is avoided with the per unit quantities; hence, there is less confusion in handling and manipulating the various parameters in three phase system.

Voltage Regulation (VR) The voltage regulation of a transformer is defined as the change in the magnitude of the secondary voltage as the current changes from full load to no load with the primary held fixed. At no load,

Efficiency The efficiency of a transformer is defined as the ratio of the power output (Pout) to the power input (Pin). Pcore = Peddy current + Physteresis And Pcu=Pcopper losses Copper losses are resistive losses in the primary and secondary winding of the transformer core. They are modeled by placing a resistor Rp in the primary circuit of the transformer and resistor Rs in the secondary circuit. Core loss is resistive loss in the primary winding of the transformer core. It can be modeled by placing a resistor Rc in the primary circuit of the transformer.
