Best Answer

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.

Iron loss is also called core loss, or excitation loss. It's the power used in the process of exciting the core of a 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.


Difference between iron loss and hystersis loss?

Why the efficiency of a power transformer increases with a decrease in Load at constant PF?

Maximum efficiency of a power transformer occurs when copper loss equals to iron losses. Decrease in current does not result in increase in efficiency unless the copper loss was more than iron loss and the decreased current made the copper loss is reduced and became equal to iron loss at some point.

Why transformer power expressed in KVA?

because of its losses i.e iron and copper losses. since iron loss depends on voltage (v)and copper loss depends on current(i).
