OC/SC test of 2200/110 V, 40 kVA transformer
Short answer
R₀ = 37.81 Ω, X₀ = 13.96 Ω (LV side). Full-load efficiency at 0.85 pf lag is 97.23%. Approximate voltage regulation is 3.22%.
During open circuit and short circuit test of a 2200/110 V, 40 kVA transformer, following results were obtained. The meters for open circuit test were placed on LV side and for short circuit test on HV side. Open circuit: P = 320 W; I = 8.4 A; V = 110 V Short circuit: P = 650 W; I = 18.2 A; V = 85 V Determine: (i) R0 and X0 (ii) The efficiency at full load with pf 0.85 lag (iii) The approx. voltage regulation
The OC test (LV side) gives the shunt branch; the SC test (HV side) gives the series impedance referred to HV. Rated HV current A, so the SC test (18.2 A) is practically at full load.
(i) and (LV side)
SC test values (HV side)
(ii) Full-load efficiency at 0.85 pf lag
Full-load copper loss (corrected to rated current 18.18 A):
(iii) Approximate voltage regulation (0.85 pf lag, )
Answer: , (LV side); full-load efficiency = 97.23%; regulation ≈ 3.22%.
