Why transformer is connected to heigh voltage side in short circuit test? Why not low voltage side.?
Can you explain to me why transformer is connected to heigh voltage side in short circuit test instead of the low voltage side?
Sure, I can explain that. Transformers are usually designed with a higher voltage rating on their primary side than on their secondary side. In a short circuit test, the transformer is usually connected to its primary side, which is where the higher voltage is applied. This is done because short circuit tests are designed to test the transformer's ability to withstand high currents, which are typically only possible at high voltage levels.
