    Open Circuit / No Load Test measures the no-load power (Po) and no-load current (Io) at rated voltage and frequency without any load connected. Voltages are applied to the high voltage winding in steps from 90-110% of rated voltage. Readings from wattmeters, voltmeters and ammeters are recorded to obtain voltage, power and current values. Test results are considered satisfactory if voltage readings from two meters differ by less than 3%. Total no-load loss is calculated as the sum of losses from the three phases.

    Open Circuit / No Load Test

    Test Purpose:
    In this test, the value of No-Load power (Po) & the No-Load current (Io) are mea
    sured at rated voltage & frequency.
    Test Instruments:
    Watt meters.
    Ammeter , Voltmeter or
    Power analyses
    Test Procedure:
    Test is performed at rated frequency.
    Three phase LT Voltage of 415 V applied on HV side of Power transformer keeping
    LT open
    Two voltmeters are connected to the energized winding, one is measuring the volt
    age mean value and the other is for the Voltage R.M.S value.
    Voltage applied to winding (usually to H.V. windings).It will be in a range from
    90% of winding rated voltage to 110% of the same in steps, each of 5% (i.e. for
    a 33/11kV transformer, applied voltage values will be 29.7kV, 31.35kV,36.3kV)
    Readings of watt meters, Voltmeters & Ammeters are recorded to obtain the values
    of V (r.m.s), Vmean, Po and Io at each voltage step.
    Test results are considered satisfactory if the readings of the two are equal wi
    thin 3%. If it s more than 3%, the validity of the test is subjected to agreement.
    Measured value of power loss is corrected according to the following formula:
    Pc=Pm (1+d)
    D= (Vmean Vr.m.s) / Vmean
    Measure the loss in all the three phases with the help of 3 watt meter method. T
    otal no load loss or iron loss of the trf = W1 + W2 +W3
    Test Caution:
    This test should be performed before the impulse test-if the later will be perfo
    rmed as a routine test- in order to avoid readings errors
    Acceptance Criteria:
    No Load losses to be within guaranteed values.
