In carrying out the test that yields the copper loss, the engineer applies

  • A.reduced voltage giving rated current in the shorted winding
  • B.rated voltage applied and the other winding open circuited
  • C.rated voltage applied and the other winding short circuited
  • D.no voltage applied at all

Answer: A

Correct answer: reduced voltage giving rated current in the shorted winding

In the short circuit test one winding is shorted and the applied voltage raised only until rated current flows - a few per cent of rated voltage. The flux, and therefore the core loss, is negligible at that voltage, so the wattmeter reads essentially the full-load copper loss, and the readings also give the equivalent series impedance.
