The open circuit and short circuit tests on a transformer give the following losses. At what load will the efficiency of the transformer be maximum?
The open circuit and short circuit tests on a transformer give the following losses. At what load will the efficiency of the transformer be maximum? Correct Answer At load of 40 kVA - Loss on OC test: 320 W and Loss on SC test: 320 W
Concept:
The efficiency of the transformer is maximum when the copper losses will be equal to iron losses.
Open circuit test is used to find the constant losses or iron losses.
A short circuit test is used to find the variable losses or constant losses.
Application:
In the first option, the copper losses are equal to constant losses.
O.C test losses = Iron losses = 320 W
S.C test losses = Copper losses = 320 W
