Short Circuit Test and Open Circuit Test of…

Open Circuit Test — Open Circuit Test is performed to find core losses and excitation parameters.

Low Voltage Winding — The low voltage winding is typically short-circuited for convenience and safety.

To determine the copper losses and equivalent impedance — The short circuit test is mainly for finding copper losses and impedance.

Input voltage, input current, and input power — Input voltage, current and power help determine core losses.

Very low (much less than 1) — The power factor in the short circuit test is low due to the inductive nature of the transformer.
