Advancements in Industry: Shorted-Winding Technique for Single-Phase Exciting Current and Loss Testing
The conventional exciting current and loss test is an open-circuit measurement of current and loss, typically performed from the high-voltage side of the transformer, using low voltage (up to 10 kV), single-phase, power frequency (50/60 Hz) excitation. For this test, the well-known approach to data analysis, first introduced in 1968, relies on comparison and evaluation of the per-phase readings against …
