there are several losses in a transformer that prevent it from attaining 100% efficiency. One is core loss, which can be divided into Hysteresis losses, Eddy currents and Magnetostriction loses. see for more details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer#Energy_losses

Function of no-load in transformer in a open-circuit?
To calculate the no load current from transformer & core loss is also calculated.
What is iron loss?
Iron losses (Pi) are independent of of load which occur due to pulsation of flux in the core. Iron losses include both Hysteresis loss and eddy current loss and is same at all the loads.
Why iron loss is constant but copper loss is variable in a transformer?
Iron loss it includes the core loss is partically the same at all loads and copper loss the value of cu loss is found from short circuit test
How Core Loss is dependent on Frequency?
since at no load only excitation current(responsible for core loss ie iron loss) flow on the primary side so core loss current will be 1A and core loss = v1*i1*powerfactor. core loss = 1*11000*0.24= 2640watt.
How eddy current losses andhysterious losses can be reduced?
eddy current can be reduced by using laminated cores. and also be reducing the thickness of the stampings. transformer iron loss is the combination of eddy current loss and hysterisis loss. both the losses depend on core of the transformer and iron loss is a constant loss.

What are losses of transformer?
Core loss is one of the many fixed losses in a transformer. This means that no matter the loading of the transformer there this loss would be fixed unlike copper loss which depends on the loading of the transformer.

What are core losses?
Iron losses are termed as core losses. There are mainly two losses - Copper loss and iron loss. Iron loss is no load loss.
How eddy current losses andhysterious losses can be reduced?
eddy current can be reduced by using laminated cores. and also be reducing the thickness of the stampings. transformer iron loss is the combination of eddy current loss and hysterisis loss. both the losses depend on core of the transformer and iron loss is a constant loss.
Is core loss same as no load loss in transformer?
Yes, that is almost true, apart from a very small copper loss in the primary winding that carries the small magnetising current. The core loss (iron loss) depends on the applied voltage. This loss is measured by the open-circuit test, carried out at the working voltage.
How many types of losses in transformer?
Basically two types: 1. Copper losses:- when the transformer is loaded, current flows in primary and secondary winding, there is loss of electrical energy due to the resistance of the primary winding, and secondary winding and they are called variable losses. These losses depend upon the loading conditions of the transformers. Therefore, these losses are also called as variable losses. 2. Iron losses or core losses:-The losses that occur in the core are known as core losses or iron losses. Two types of iron losses are: > eddy current loss > Hysteresis loss.
What is maximum efficiency condition in distribution transformer?
The maximum efficiency condition in distribution transformer is said to be occurred when iron loss = copper loss
How does Lenz's Law explain power loss in transformers?
It doesn't, really. The power loss in transformers is broken down into copper loss and iron loss. The copper loss comes from the resistance of the windings in the transformer and depends on the load current, while the iron loss in the magnetic core depends on the magnetic flux density and is constant if the supply voltage is constant.
Why rated current should flow in the secondary for short circuit?
The short-circuit test runs the rated current through the windings of the transformer to measure the copper-loss, or power lost in the winding resistances. Because the transformer is run at low voltage for this test, there is very little additional power loss in the iron core of the transformer.
