THEORY:
It is essential to know the relative polarity at any instant of primary and secondary terminals for making
correct connections. When the two transformers are to be connected in parallel to share the load on the
system. The marking is correct if voltage V3 is less than V1, such a polarity is termed as subtractive
polarity.
The standard practice is to have sübtractive polarity because it reduces the voltage stress between
adjacent loads. In case V3 > V1, the EMF induced in primary and secondary have additive relation and
transformer is said to have additive polarity.

PROCEDURE:

POLARITY TEST:
a) Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram.
b) Switch on the single phase a.c. supply.
c)Recordthe voltages V1, V2 and V3. In case V3 I polarity is additive. -
d) Switch off the a.c. supply b) Turn Ratio Test: - Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram. -
e Switch on the a.c. supply.
Record voltage VI across primary and V2 across various tappings of secondary.
g IfV1>V2 then transformer is step down.-
h) If V2> VI then transformer is step up. -
i) Switch off a.c. supply.

TURN RATIO TEST: -

a) Connect the circuit as shown in the diagram.

b) Switch on the a.c. supply.
c)Record voltage VI across primary and V2 across various tappings of secondary.
d) If V1>V2 then transformer is step down.
e) If V2> V1 then transformer is step up.
fSwitch off a.c. supply
