Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) : Transformers - Quiz(MCQ)
Which of the given test determine the iron loss of the transformer?
A)
Back-to-back test
B)
Short circuit test
C)
Both (A) and (B)
D)
Open circuit test

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   Open circuit test


Explanation : An open circuit test is also known as a no-load test. It is used to find the iron loss at the rated applied voltage to the primary side. Iron loss of the transformer is not varying with a change in load. The iron loss also helps to determine the voltage regulation and efficiency of the transformer. Open circuit test of a transformer is carried out on the low voltage side by keeping the high voltage side open.
