To Study Efficiency of Single-phase Transformer by Load test

Instructions

  • Step 1: Make connections as per the instructions given below:

  • (a) (1-3 , 2-4)
    (b) (5-7 , 6-8)
    (c) (7-9 , 10-13, 13-14)
    (d) (12-15 ,8-11, 11-16)
    (e) (17-21, 18-22)
    (f) (21-23)
    (g) (24-27,27-28)
    (h) (22-25)
    (i) (19-26,20-25)

  • Note: Click on the label to delete the connection for the corresponding node

  • (a)Now, Check the connections by clicking on ‘CHECK’ button.

  • (b)If the connections are ‘Invalid connections’ the webpage will reload automatically.

  • (c)And if the connections are ‘Right Connections’ then follow the below steps.

  • Step 2:Turn on the MCB.

  • Step 3: Then, switch on the variac by clicking on the button.

  • Step 4:Then, Click on the variac knob to set the voltage at 230V.

  • Note: Once, we have click on the variac knob it automatically set to 230V. So we don’t have to set it again.

  • Step 5:Case 1:Then, Click on the switch1 to Turn on the first row of the Lamp load.

  • Step 6:Now, Click on ‘ADD’ button to add the readings in the observation table.

  • Step 7:Case 2:Then, Click on the switch2 to Turn on the Second row of the Lamp load.

  • Step 8:Now, Click on ‘ADD’ button to add the readings in the observation table.

  • Step 9:Case 3:Then, Click on the switch3 to Turn on the third row of the Lamp load.

  • Step 10:Now, Click on ‘ADD’ button to add the readings in the observation table.

  • Step 11:Click on ‘CALCULATE’ button to calculate the Efficiency and Regulation.

  • Step 12:Now, Click on ‘PLOT’ button to plot the graph.

  • Step 13:Click on ‘PRINT’ button to takeout the print of the webpage.

  • Step 14:Click on ‘RESET’ button to reload the webpage.

Efficiency= Output power / Input power * 100
Regulation = Vso - Vs/ Vso * 100
Where,
Vso- Secondary terminal voltage at no-load.
Vs - Secondary terminal voltage on load.
