Question
Describe briefly and two energy losses, giving the reasons for their occurrence in actual transformers ?
Advertisements
Solution
Energy losses occur in transformers:
(i) Flux leakage: Not all of the flux due to primary coil passes through the secondary due to poor design of the core or the air gaps in the core.
(ii) Eddy currents: The alternating magnetic flux induces eddy currents in the iron core and causes heating.

A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes alternating voltages or currents. It does not affect the frequency of a.c. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having different numbers of turns and wound on the same soft iron core.
