No-load on a transformer is carried out to determine______________?

Correct answer: C. magnetising current and loss

  • A. copper loss
  • B. magnetising current
  • C. magnetising current and loss
  • D. efficiency of the transformer

Explanation

The no-load, or open-circuit, test measures the small no-load current and the power drawn, which is approximately the transformer’s iron loss. Thus it gives both the magnetising current and core loss.
