The two tests together allow the efficiency of a transformer to be computed without

  • A.measuring any voltage or current at all
  • B.knowing the turns ratio of the windings
  • C.knowing the frequency of the supply
  • D.supplying its full output power

Answer: D

Correct answer: supplying its full output power

This is the practical value of the two tests. Each draws only a small fraction of rated power - the open circuit test rated voltage at no-load current, the short circuit test rated current at a few per cent of voltage - yet between them they give both loss components, from which the efficiency at any load can be computed. Loading a large transformer to full output for a test would be impractical.
