    To perform a short circuit test on a power transformer: isolate the transformer from service; disconnect the neutral from ground and remove HV/LV connections; short the LV phases using a plate that can withstand short circuit current and connect it to the neutral; energize the HV side using a 440V 3ph supply with the OLTC tap in the normal position; measure currents in the neutral and LV/HV lines and voltages at various tap positions. The test analyzes whether one of the windings is open based on whether the neutral current is near or higher than the line current.

    For carrying Short Circuit Test on Power Transformer Do the following: 

    1] Isolate the Power Transformer from service. 


    2] Remove HV/LV Jumps and Disconnect Neutral from Earth/Ground. 
    3] Short LV Phases by Cu/Al plate which could withstand short circuit current and connect these short
    circuited terminals to Neutral 
    4] Energise HV side by LV supply (440 3ph Supply) with OLTC tap position on Normal. 
    5] Measure Current in Neutral, LV line voltages, HV Volatage and HV Line Currents on various OLTC
    Tap position. 

    Analysis: 
    If Neutral current is near to zero transformer windings are OK 
    If Neutral current is higher or equal to Line current between LV Phase one of the winding is Open.
