Short circuit test on transformers is conducted to determine____________?
Correct answer: B. copper losses
- A. hysteresis losses
- B. copper losses
- C. core losses
- D. eddy current losses
Explanation
In the short-circuit test, the applied voltage is low, so core flux and core loss are negligible. The measured input power therefore represents the full-load copper loss, after adjustment for the test current.
