Q.

The open circuit test on a transformer is usually performed by exciting the low voltage winding. This is because

  • AIt draws sufficiently large no load current which can be conveniently measured
  • BThe required power input is low
  • CIt is not advisable to work on high voltage size
  • DThe voltage required is low.
Correct Answer : (A)

It draws sufficiently large no load current which can be conveniently measured

Hints :
Previous

If a sinusoidal voltage source is connected to a power transformer, it's no load current would be
