Abstract :
Measuring transformer core loss by impedance bridge methods offers a number of advantages over conventional wattmeter methods, particularly in automation. Human errors are minimized and test accuracy is improved. The bridge is self-balancing and control can be effected either by manual or punched card programming. Direct readings, high precision, and high output torque make the self-balancing bridge particularly suitable for automation.
