 (A) zero
 (B) unity
 (C) leading
 (D) lagging.

Q.6 The primary reason why open-circuit test is performed on the low-voltage winding of the
transformer is that it
 (A) draws sufficiently large on-load current for convenient reading
 (B) requires least voltage to perform the test
 (C) needs minimum power input

Q.8 The main purpose of performing open-circuit test on a transformer is to measure its
 (A) Cu loss
 (B) core loss
 (C) total loss
 (D) insulation resistance.

Q.9 During short-circuit test, the iron loss of a transformer is negligible because
 (A) the entire input is just sufficient to meet Cu losses only
 (B) flux produced is a small fraction of the normal flux
 (C) iron core becomes fully saturated
 (D) supply frequency is held constant.

Q.10 The iron loss of a transformer at 400 Hz is 10 W. Assuming that eddy current and hysteresis losses vary as the square of flux density, the iron loss of the transformer at rated voltage but at 50 Hz would be....... watt.
