1 Experiment o. 1 Objective: The objectives of this experiment are to find the approximate per phase equivalent circuit parameters of a -φ transformer bank using short circuit and open circuit tests and to determine the regulation and efficiency of the transformer bank through load test. The regulation and efficiency of the transformer bank determined through load test will be compared with those calculated using the transformer parameters. Apparatus: φ variac 2. 2 Test tables. 4 multimeters 4. 2 wattmeters kva - φ transformer Bank φ Resistive load bank with fan φ Capacitive Load Bank Procedure: 1. Short Circuit Test: a) Refer to Fig.1 for Short circuit test. Connect the high voltage windings of each 1-φ transformer in parallel and then connect them in STAR configuration. Connect the low voltage windings of each 1-φ transformer in parallel and then connect them in DELTA configuration. Make sure that the transformer is connected according to nameplate specifications. b) Connect the three phases of the low voltage windings to test table 2. Connect the three phases of the high voltage windings through the test table to the output terminals of the variac. Make sure that all test table line switches are open. Connect the input terminals of the variac to the 120V power panel. Do not turn on power. Have the lab instructor check your set up. c) With the test table's line switches still open, turn on power and adjust the variac until its output voltage is zero. 1/11

2 d) Calculate the rated current for the input windings. Check your value with the lab instructor. Make sure that your current transformer is set up to handle this current. e) Protecting the measuring instruments, close the test table line switches. Immediately after closing the line switches check the current in lines 1,2 and. The current should be close to zero. If the current is not close to zero de-energize your circuit and recheck it. f) Increase the output voltage of the variac until the ammeter in line 1 indicates rated current. Measure and record V H12, V H2, V H1, I H1, I H2, I H, I X1, I X2, I X, P HWM1 and P HWM2. Protect your measuring instruments and de-energize the circuit. should be taken with great precaution as you may see currents as high as 100A! 2.
