Answer / kashifhabib

Efficiency = (Output/Input)*100
&
Output (KW)= KVA * Power Factor
Input = Output + Iron losses + Copper losses
Iron losses are due to Primary voltage so remains constant
can be calculated by open circuit test
Copper losses are due to secondary current I*I*R
can be calculated by short circuit test
Exp: Full load copper losses 800 W
1/2 load copper losses will be 200 watts

Answer / vinod parasa

Efficiency = (Output/Input)*100
output=(x)(KVA * Power Factor)
input=(x)(KVA * Power Factor)+(X)^2 copperlosses+core losses

the volue of x depend on load
x=1 for full load
x=0.75 for (3/4)th load
x=0.5 for half load
x=0.25 for quarter load

copper losses are variable losses and iron losses are
constant losses.

at the time of full load copperlosses=iron losse
Full load copper losses 800 W
half load copper losses=(X)^2 copperlosses
x=0.5 for half load
=(0.5)^2 *400
=0.25*400
half load copper losses=200

Answer / s.ravi

Efficiency =
(Output/Output+Iron losses+Copper losses)*100
Iron losses = No load test,
Copper losses = Short circuit test
Regulation = (Impedance voltage/Rated input voltage)*100
Impedance voltage = Short circuit test(Voltage drop)

Answer / prof dr lehaz kakakhel

go for two tests
open and short circuits tests
From the open, u compute the core power loss and from the
short, u get copper losses. then the formula is
efficiency = output/ (output + the above two losses)

Please help me regarding my one concern. - During earth pit testing we noticed that the Clean earth pit and dirty earth pit showing continuity (Resistance value - 5ohm) . I want to know that if both earth pit have separate location and there is not internal looping between PIT then why such continuity is showing on it . Because of this issue the field side all earthing point showing short. In PLC panel we are providing two types of earthing cable which is coming from separate earth pit (Clean and Dirty earth pit) because of earth PIT showing short our PLC is not complying spec . please help regarding this issues.
