The experiment aims to study the load test of a single-phase transformer to determine its efficiency and voltage regulation using specific apparatus. It involves connecting the transformer to a load, measuring various electrical parameters, and observing how efficiency changes with load. Precautions and a structured procedure are outlined, along with a requirement for students to conclude and discuss key questions related to transformer operation.

AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT:

To study load test of single phase transformer and determine its efficiency and voltage
regulation.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Sl.No. Name of Apparatus Specification Quantity
1 Single Phase Transformer 1KVA, 250/250V 1
2 Single Phase Autotransformer 0-270V,5A 1
3 Wattmeter 1000W, Digital 2
4 Ammeter 0-5A , Digital 2
5 Voltmeter 0-300V, Digital 2
6 Lamp Load 1 KW 1
THEORY:
When the secondary winding of a transformer is connected to a load and a voltage V is
applied to the primary winding, the transformer is said to be operated under load condition.
Under this condition transformer copper loss increases with increase in current .So efficiency
changes. Maximum efficiency point reaches when iron loss is equal to copper loss. Iron loss is
constant for a transformer; therefore at maximum point copper loss is very less & equal to iron
loss. When load increases beyond this point copper loss will increase which reduces the
efficiency.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Precautions:
1. Do not switch on supply without concerning respective teachers.
2. Single phase auto transformer must be kept at minimum potential point.
3. Secondary voltage that is V2 should always be constant throughout the experiment.
PROCEDURE:
1. First take a reading at no load.
2. Then increase the lamp load by steps & take the readings.
3. Don’t apply load above 1KW.
