Much to my dismay i found its an experimental value, depends on type of core, cooling tech, resistance of wiring etc.
Probably about 2 kW.
To calculate the no load current from transformer & core loss is also calculated.
It is always desirable to run any equipment or device at maximum efficiency for that matter, not only the power transformer. Power transformer maximum efficiency occurs when copper loss is equal to iron loss. (or no load loss equals to load loss). This does not necessariliy mean that maximum efficiency occurs at maximum or full load. Generally the maximum efficiency occurs at relatively less than full load of the transformer.
major component of power loss in a transformer is secondary resistance.when transformer is operated under no load,no current flows through the secondary.so under no load conditions transformer has just very small megnetic losses.
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
The no load losses are the losses caused by energizing the transformer. These are constant losses, regardless of loading. This in effect tells you the efficiency of the transformer. (Power in) - (no load losses) = (Power out)
That type of transformer normally has about 99% efficiency so the full-load loss would be 1% or 6 kW.
the efficiency is maximum in a transformer when no load loss is equal to load loss.
Copper loss varies with the load.
The maximum efficiency condition in distribution transformer is said to be occurred when iron loss = copper loss

Fully loaded - 2.62 amps at 11kV. The no load depends on the transformer design, but it will usually be significantly less than the full load amps (not sure on this size, but on larger transformers it is typically ~.05 - .1% full load, so you'd be looking at ~2.5 mA RMS). The connection type is not important. Transformers are very efficient, thus there is not a whole lot of loss in the "average" transformer. The actual loss will depend on the design criteria of the transformer.

75 kV.A is the rated apparent power of the transformer which it can supply, continuously, to a load without overheating. When the transformer is not supplying a load, the primary current is (a) very small and, (b) lagging the supply voltage by practically 90 electrical degrees. Bear in mind that energy losses only occur for the component of current that is actually in phase with the supply voltage. So the energy consumed to the transformer is very small and is due to the resistance of the primary winding (copper loss) and a relatively small loss in the core (iron loss). Just how much energy this accounts for and, therefore, how much it costs to run the off-load transformer, is not possible to tell without knowing the full specification of the transformer.
A transmission transformer steps the voltage up to a very high value so electricity can travel long distances on transmission lines from the power plant to a city or area with low loss. A distribution transformer steps the high voltage back down to a level that can be used for local distribution and use by businesses and homes.
