This document provides instructions for conducting a load test on a single-phase transformer to plot its load characteristics. The test involves measuring the no-load and full-load voltages, input power, output power, and current while increasing the lamp load in steps. These readings are used to calculate the transformer's efficiency and regulation at each step. The efficiency is plotted against load current to show how efficiency changes with increasing load, and regulation is plotted to show how voltage changes over the load range.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Fuse should be selected such that its current rating is 120% of no load current of the
transformer.
2. The DPST switch is kept opened at the time of starting the experiment while giving
connections.
3. The load should be in the off position while at the start of the experiment.

PROCEDURE
1. The connections are made as per the circuit diagram shown in the diagram.
2. The DPST switch is closed and the supply is given to the circuit
3. The no load readings are noted.
4. By varying the lamp load in steps, corresponding ammeter, voltmeter and
wattmeter readings are noted down.
5. The same procedure is repeated up to the rated current.
6. All the readings are tabulated in tabular column and required quantities are calculated
to draw characteristics curves.
