Question

Why short circuit test is used?

Answer 1

I suppose you meant abt short circuiting test for cables or motors.

This is done to calculate the copper loss for the motor / cable.

Answer 2

There seems to be a contest to see who can post the question with the least number of words and the least information.

Please!

It may be funny to you, but it wastes my time and wastes your time, and doesn't get a good answer.

Just type in all the information you have, all the details, and you will get a good answer, instead of a bunch of angry people.

Answer 3

A vague question gets a generic answer....

A short  is a direct connection of two nodes.  You might do a short circuit test to make sure you don't have a direct connection between two nodes that need some resistance between them.  (e.g. Hooking Vcc to Gnd is usually a bad idea without putting a resistor in series to limit the current)

Answer 4

for what application?
