1. Objective
The objective of the experiment is to perform open and short- circuit tests on a three-phase
transformer using two wattmeter method,
a. To find out the parameters of the equivalent circuit.
b. To draw the single-phase equivalent circuit of the three phase- transformer.
2. Theory
Three-phase transformers are widely used in power transmission and distribution for step- up
and step- down the voltage. They are built on a magnetic structure or by connecting a bank of
three single-phase transformers. If the three transformers are practically identical, analysis of
one phase is sufficient to determine the variables on two sides of the transformer.

It should be noted that, the obtained parameters are referred to LV side if the test is conducted
on LV side.

In short-circuit test, the LV side is short-circuited and rated current is circulated through HV
windings. Since, the voltage applied is very small, the core losses are neglected and the input
power is taken entirely to meet the copper losses in the windings. The equivalent circuit is
shown in Figure 3.
