How do we check transformer losses and what are the ways to minimise it...

Answer / guest

transformer losses can be found by doing open circuit test
and short circuit test
open circuit test gives the core losses
short circuit test gives the copper losses
note in open circuit test the lv side is given supply and
in short circuit test the hv side is given supply

the iron losses can be reduced by providing laminations of
thinner dimension and using c.r.g.o sheet for laminations

the copper losses depend on the winding resistance which
increases due to heat can be reduced by providing
sufficient cooling to the winding.

How do we check transformer losses and what are the ways to minimise it...

Answer / manthesh.patil

we can check transformer losses by short ckt and open ckt test
,for checking cu loss we use short ckt test and for iron
loss we use open ckt test..to reduce copper loss we should
go for good cooling and for iron loss the core should be
perfectly laminated

How do we check transformer losses and what are the ways to minimise it...

Answer / sumitgarg

we can check a trans losses by open circuit and short
sircuit test.
to minimise these losses we shuold have a good cooling
system. apart from that all other points are related with
the insulation of the core,permitivity etc.

How do we check transformer losses and what are the ways to minimise it...

Answer / achala.g.s.

We can check like the following :
polarity, resistance and tap change operation tests should me made to check whether it has built correctly or not..


the ways to minimize it are:
*check of Oil quality.
*A check on the tap changer.

How do we check transformer losses and what are the ways to minimise it...

Answer / saravanan

oc and sc test helps to find the total losses means .oc test
gives the core loss .sc test gives the copper loss.if the
transformer is oil cooled means you must check the
conduction or breakdown test on the transformer oil. that
time only we can suggest the winding insulation loss
