Augmented short-circuit test for the measurement of transformer equivalent-circuit parameters with large series branch impedances

摘要

An augmented short-circuit test is described for the determination of equivalent-circuit parameters of single-phase transformers with large series-branch impedances. This test may be conducted at rated currents with the transformer connected to a reduced voltage supply. Thus harmonics in current and voltage waves are negligible. This test is therefore free from harmonics-associated errors. Based on test results, phasor equations are found which give formulae for the equivalent-circuit parameters with series-branch impedance split into low- and high-voltage components.
