10 kVA 250/1000 V tests, equivalent circuit
Short answer
Open-circuit test yields shunt branch R0 = 781.25 Ω, X0 = 341 Ω. Short-circuit test gives equivalent series parameters referred to primary: Req = 0.075 Ω, Xeq = 0.4943 Ω (Zeq ≈ 0.5 Ω).
The data obtained from the test of a 10 kVA, 250 V/1000 V single phase transformer are given below: No-load test (on L.V side): 250 V, 0.8 A, 80 watt Short circuit test (on H.V side): 80 V, 10 A, 120 watt Calculate the equivalent circuit parameters referred to primary side and draw the equivalent circuit.
Given: 10 kVA, 250 V/1000 V. Primary = LV (250 V), , . Rated HV current A, so the SC test is at full load.
Open-circuit test (on the LV side)
The no-load power is almost entirely core loss, so the shunt branch is found from it.
Short-circuit test (on the HV side)
At the reduced test voltage the core loss is negligible, so the wattmeter reading is the copper loss.
Referring to the LV side
The turns ratio is , so . Impedances are multiplied by when moved from LV to HV, and divided by when moved from HV to LV.
Equivalent circuit referred to the LV side
Req=0.075 ohm Xeq=0.494 ohm
