Key Notes
• Use SI units: V oltage (V ), Curren t (A ), Resistance (? ), P o w er (W ), F requency (Hz ).
• Op en circuit test determines core loss and magnetizing parameters; short circuit test
determines copp er loss and equiv alen t imp edance.
• F or GA TE, fo cus on equiv alen t circuit parameters, e?iciency , and v oltage regulation
calculations.
• Use RMS v alues for A C quan tities unless sp ecified otherwise.
• Chec k p o w er factor sign for v oltage regulation (lagging/leading).
