Hi,
It's been a while but from what I remember when you short circuit a transformer, electrically it's like you've series'd up the coils and shorted the magnetisation branch. And when you open circuit a side of the TX it is like the current flows through a side then through the magnetisation branch. I also remember hearing that when a TX short circuits, that is reflected to the primary.
I'm just wondering, if you imagined you had a single phase TX and are only interested in looking at (thinking about) the flux, is the flux effected at all as one side is short circuited and open circuited? Or is it best to just think about it like concervation of power?
Thanks
