Electrical Engineering MCQs on Transformer

During short-circuit test of transformer, which winding of transformer is short-circuited:

1. Low voltage winding
2. High voltage winding
3. Any of above
4. None of above

Correct answer: 1. Low voltage winding

Explanation: During short-circuit test the low-voltage winding of transformer is short circuited and measurements are carried out on high-voltage winding.
