What Causes Inefficiency and Power Loss in the Transformer?


Inefficiency and the power loss in a transformer is caused by three things:
A. Hysteresis loss: which is caused by the magnetic field created in the transformer’s primary, secondary and harmonic windings. 

B. Eddy current loss: or skin effect: which is caused by the high frequency current traveling on the outer edge of the conductor. 

C. Copper loss: which is caused by the power dissipated in the windings of a transformer. Copper loss is minimized by using as large conductors as possible in the windings. 

Note: A and B are fixed losses. C varies by  I2R. When the efficiency is computed the computation is done with 100% load.

  1. Hi there, i read уοur blog frοm time to time and i own a similar one anԁ i was ϳust wondеrіng if yοu get а lot
    οf sρam responses? If so how do
