Question

Why short circuit test is performed on high voltage side?

Answer 1

Hello friend here is your answer.
During the test a lower value ofvoltage is applied than the rated value so that rated current should flow in the winding. As the rated current is lesser on HV side as compared to the LV side, it is convenient to conduct the test on the HV side so that the meters used for the test are oflower range.
i hope it will help you.
