What will happen to the transformer if double the rated voltage is applied to the winding during the open circuit test?

no voltage will be induced on the secondary side of the motor as the windings will become saturated.

Why LV side is shorted in short circuit test?
Transformer short circuit tests are used to determine the impedances (positive and zero sequence) of the transformer. A simple explanation: to do this one winding is shorted, and voltage is applied to another winding to circulate the normal full load current of the transformer. The impedance of the transformer is the applied voltage divided by the induced current. If one winding was not shorted, the voltage divided by induced current would not give the impedance of the transformer - the induced current would be much lower, giving a much higher impedance measurement that would be essentially meaningless.
Difference between input and output transformer?
The 'input' side of a transformer is called its 'primary' side, whereas the 'output' side is termed its 'secondary' side. The ratio of its secondary to primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary windings to the number of turns in the primary winding. So if, for example, a transformer's secondary winding has twice as many turns as its primary winding, then the secondary winding will produce twice the voltage applied to the primary winding.
Why the iron losses absent in short circuit test?
Because a short-circuit test is done at very low voltage to check the transformer windings on their maximum current. The low voltage ensures that the magnetic flux in the transformer's iron core is very low so that the eddy-current losses, usually known as iron losses, are negligible.
Transformers works on the Principle of?
If you mean how they work then magnetic fields Induction. Voltage applied to one winding induces a voltage in another winding. The voltage induced is dependent upon the turns ratio between the two windings. Current is said to be induced in the other winding as well (since a voltage is induced, current will flow if the circuit is complete). Depending on the transformer type, current may flow directly from the series winding (in autotransformers, for example) to the secondary output (conduction, as opposed to induction).
What happens to voltage in a step-down transformer?
The voltage induced into the secondary winding will be lower than the voltage applied to the primary winding. The primary winding being the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the one connected to the load.
What will happen to the transformer if the rated voltage is applied to the winding during short circuit test?
the winding would burn....
How voltage is measured in potential transformer?
By connecting a voltmeter across the secondary terminals of the voltage/potential transformer. The transformer acts to reduce the voltage applied to its primary winding, while electrically-isolating the primary (usually high-voltage) circuit from the voltmeter.

What is the base voltage in a transformer circuit?
depends on the type of trans former.buck or boost.primary winding a secondary winding
How do wall transformers work?
Just like any other transformer - voltage is applied to one winding, which induces a magnetic field in the transformer core, which induces a voltage on the other winding.
What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifer?
A transformer is used to change the value of a voltage applied to the transformer's primary winding to a different voltage value taken from the transformers secondary winding. A rectifier is used to change an alternating current value to a direct current value.
What is a high voltage circuit primary circuit secondary circuit tertiary circuit?
The terms 'primary', 'secondary', and 'tertiary' winding has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with voltage levels. The primary winding is simply that winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is that winding connected to the load. The voltages of these windings depend on whether you are dealing with a step-up or step-down transformer.
Is there more current in the primary or secondary winding of a transformer?
The terms, 'primary' and 'secondary', describe how a transformer is connected and his nothing to do with which is the lower- and higher-voltage winding.The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the winding connected to the load. So, for astep-up transformer, the secondary winding is the higher voltage winding, whereas for a step-down transformer, the secondary winding is the lower voltage winding.For a loaded transformer, i.e. a transformer whose secondary is supplying a load, the higher-voltage winding carries the smaller current, while the lower-voltage winding carries the higher current.
How could you convert step up transformer into step down transformer?
Injecting power into the higher voltage winding of a transformer will make it act as a step down transformer; injecting power into the lower voltage winding will make it act as a step up transformer. A transformer can be used both ways.
Why rated voltage is to be applied to primary for open circuit test?
Open circuit test on a transformer is usually performed to measure the IRON losses.Iron losses are produced due to eddy current and hysteresis losses. In open circuit test, the LV side, generaly the secondary winding, is kept open and the HV side, generaly the primary winding is fed with the rated voltage and frequency. The rated voltage is applied in order to setup normal flux in the transformer, which in return further produces the normal iron losses at rated voltage. the wattmeter connected at the primary side will show the power consumed due to iron losses. this calculation further utilized for determing the efficiency of transformer.
What will happen to the transformer if rated voltage is applied to the winding during short circuit test?
If rated voltage is applied to Transformer during S/C test, The secondary winding will burn out due ta heavy current flow through the winding. During S/C test the secondary winding is short circuited so the impedance between phase and neutral is very low(only winding resistance). But the voltage across the secondary winding is rated hence heavy current flows through the winding, as I=V/Z. it depends which rated voltage is applied. if you are talking about primary winding voltage, transformer should withstand the primary rated voltage it's been designed for (OR it has been poorly designed). Otherwise, if rated voltage is the insulation voltage between a winding and earth OR winding-to-winding, you just have to check if: 1 - it is higher than the maximum primary winding voltage the transformer can withstand (could be, could not be..). Then, you can guess if your transformer is likely to burn or not. 2 - your test setup (usually a HV generator connected between primary and secondary winding) can deliver the requested current for the setup. I guess this won't be the case, since HV testers are usually designed to generate high voltages, but very small output currents.
The insulation resistance of a transformer winding can be easily measured with?
It depends on the rated voltage of the transformer winding -are you talking about a 12-V transformer winding or a 400-kV transformer winding? Obviously, there is no one answer to your question!
