(i) For O.C.

Test:
(a) Leave the secondary terminals of the transformer open.

(b) Adjust the variac to supply rated voltage to the primary side and take readings.

( iii ) For short circuit test:

( a ) Short circuit the secondary terminals.
( b ) Adjust the primary input voltage for various currents not exceeding the rated current
and take corresponding readings.
( c ) Calculate Z1, R1 and X1 for every reading and then find their average values to be
used in the formula for voltage regulation.
( iv ) Load Test:
( a ) Make the connections of the transformer as shown.
( b ) Energize the primary by a 230 VAC source.
( c ) Take the readings under no load condition.
( d ) Load the secondary and record the readings of the instruments connected for
different load conditions.
