Following are images of parts of the initial setup of the test circuit connected to an existing 25kVA transformer.
transformer setup

Above is the 25kVA transformer.
test circuit

The power came from the wall and went into a variac (variable transformer) then went into the test table (seen here on the left). Then the current went through the current transformers and into the transformer.

On the other side of the transformer, the current goes into the resistor bank (on the right side of the image) which is simulating a load. In the above picture there is a current meter (with red clamps) on the shorting circuit.
existing 25kVA transformer

The existing 25kVA transformer is being used for initial testing while we wait for the transformer we specified and ordered.
