           Procedure

           TASK 1 : Check the terminals & sequence of both transformers

           1  Collect the Tools, equipments and materials required for experiment.
           2  Draw the circuit diagram of parallel operation of 1 ph. transformer.
           3  Check and identify the voltage, current and KVA rating of transformers.
           4  Check & identify the primary & secondary similar terminals of transformer and mark the terminals numbers
              with marker.
           5  Place both transformers side by  side and primary terminals facing towards incoming line bus-bar,  and
              secondary terminals facing towards load circuit.

           6  Ensure and fulfill the following conditions for parallel operation of transformers.
               a)   The voltage rating of both transformers must be same.
               b)   The transformation ratios of both transformers must be equal.
               c)   The polarity of primary & secondary terminals of both transformers must be identical.
