b) Equivalent impedance of one side of the winding
c) Voltage regulation for exact circuit
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: All the estimations asked will need results of both the tests.
6. To conduct the open circuit test, test is conducted on the _____________
a) l.v. side
b) h.v. side
c) primary
d) secondary
View Answer
Explanation: OC test is performed on the l.v. side of the transformer because the l.v. winding will have lower stress on the insulation and no damage will occur.
7. To conduct the short circuit test, test is conducted on the ___________
a) l.v. side
b) h.v. side
c) primary
d) secondary
View Answer
Explanation: To circulate the rated current in the winding, we should opt for lower value of the current so that winding will not damage.
8. A single phase transformer of 2200/220 V having rated l.v. current of 150 A has to undergo open circuit test on h.v. side. Which of the below instruments range should be used?
a) 6A, 200V
b) 150A, 22V
c) 60A, 220V
d) 6A, 20V
View Answer
Explanation: Open circuit test is conducted on l.v. side, so the measuring instruments will be on the h.v. side.
So the current in the h.v. side will be around 3-6% of the rated.
9. A single phase transformer of 2000/200 V having rated l.v. current of 100 A has to undergo short circuit test on l.v. side. Which of the below instruments range should be used?
a) 200V,10A
b) 20V, 10A
c) 300V,100A
d) 200V,50A
View Answer
Explanation: Short circuit test is conducted on h.v. side, so the measuring instruments will be on the l.v. side.
Rated current on the h.v. will be 10A and voltage will be around 5-12% to account for winding losses.
10. A single phase transformer of 2200/220 V having rated l.v. current of 150 A has to undergo open circuit test on h.v side. The instruments used are voltmeter of 200V and ammeter of 1A. Then the results ___________
a) will be wrong
b) will be accurate
c) of ammeter will burn
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The current in the h.v. winding will be around 10 A but the ammeter is of 1 A rating. So, it will burn off.
11. Which of the following conditions have to ensured for a short-circuit test?
A. L.v. is short circuited B. It helps in calculation of voltage regulation C. It is performed at rated voltage
a) A, B
b) A, B, C
c) B, C
d) A, C
View Answer
Explanation: For conducting short circuit test, l.v. winding is short circuited and it is not performed at rated voltage.
12. Which of the following conditions have to ensured for a short-circuit test?
A. h.v. winding is short-circuited B. It helps in calculation of voltage regulation C. It is performed at rated voltage D. l.v. winding is short-circuited
a) B, D
b) A, B, C
c) B, C, D
d) A, C
View Answer
Explanation: For conducting short circuit test, l.v. winding is short circuited and it is not performed at rated voltage.
13. Transformers with high leakage impedance is used in ___________
a) arc welding
b) power distribution
c) power generating terminals
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The feature of the high impedance is extracted in the arc welding applications.
14. Which of the following conditions have to ensured for a open-circuit test?
A. Performed on L.V side B. Leakage impedance can be obtained C. It is performed at rated voltage D. It gives magnetizing impedance
