2. Core losses (hysteresis losses and eddy current losses)
Transformer Losses and Efficiency
Types of
losses incurred in a transformer:
1. Copper I2R
losses
2. Core
losses (hysteresis losses and eddy current losses) Transformer efficiency may
be calculated using the following:
Ideal
transformer will have maximum efficiency at a load such that copper losses =
iron losses
