Short-Circuit Test
Short-Circuit Test
Short circuit test is performed to determine copper losses in transformer. Here as the
output is shorted, there is no output. As input voltage is very negligible as compared to
rated voltage and hence the core losses present are only of the transformer. So the
wattmeter measures the copper losses of the transformer.
