What are the loses in Transformers, Explain?

1 Answer

Answer :

Ans. (1) Iron loses (2) Copper loses
Iron Loss : Iron loss occurs in the transformers Iron core due to hysteresis and eddy
currents taking place. They are almost fixed irrespective of loading of transformers.
Copper Losses: Copper losses are I2 R losses in the primary and the secondary windings of
the transformer which with the loading of transformer.
