  • Q6. Why OC test done on LV side and SC test on HV side of Transformers
  • Ans. 

    OC test is done on LV side to avoid high voltage on secondary side. SC test is done on HV side to avoid high current on primary side.

    • LV side has lower voltage rating, hence safer for OC test

    • HV side has higher current rating, hence suitable for SC test

    • OC test checks insulation resistance and winding resistance

    • SC test checks impedance and voltage regulation

    • Example: A 100 MVA transformer with 220 kV HV and 33 kV LV rating
