Question
Mention two main sources of power loss in real transformers.
Advertisements
Solution
Two causes of energy loss in a transformer are:
- Heat loss due to copper: It is the loss of heat energy over the resistance of the copper winding in the primary and secondary coils.
- Hysteresis loss: The loss caused by the heating of the core as a result of its repetitive magnetization and demagnetization cycles when an alternating emf is applied across the primary coil.
