Short Circuit Analysis

Short Circuit Test is most destructive test on Transformers.Preventive measures should be taken to make your transformers short circuit proof in Test Lab & during service.


  • axial induction
  • core induction
  • axial force
  • tank shield
  • radial force
  • radial induction
Magnetic field Plot

Our programs are capable for calculating short circuit forces on Transformers .Forces are compared with limits given in IEC 60076-5.

Our report provides validation of forces as listed below:

  • Hoop Stress (Tensile for Outside Winding),(Compressive or Free Buckling for Inside Winding)
  • Minimum Axial Spacers (Sticks) Required per Circle
  • Axial Bending Stress between Radial KeySpacers
  • Combined (Axial+Radial) Stress on Conductors
  • Tilting Stress on Conductors
  • Compressive Stress on Radial KeySpacers
