Short-circuit Test
In Short Circuit Test the secondary terminals are short
circuited, and the primary terminals are connected to a
fairly low-voltage source
Substitute we have N2

Voltage regulation = N1

Transformer Phasor Diagram
To determine the voltage regulation of a
transformer, it is necessary to understand the
voltage drops within it.

Transformer Phasor Diagram
Ignoring the excitation of the branch (since the current
flow through the branch is considered to be small), more
consideration is given to the series impedances
(Req +jXeq).

Transformer Phasor Diagram
For lagging loads, VP / a > VS so the voltage regulation with
lagging loads is > 0.

Transformer Phasor Diagram
For lagging loads, the vertical components of Req and Xeq
will partially cancel each other. Due to that, the angle of
VP/a will be very small, hence we can assume that VP/k is
horizontal. Therefore the approximation will be as follows:
