What is the significant relationship of the no load loss in excitation current test in transformer?
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)
What components compose the excitation current of a transformer. How are they modeled in the transformer 's equivalent circuit?
The magnetization current can be broken-down into two components: the first is in phase with the supply voltage and is responsible for the losses, whereas the second component lags the supply voltage by 90 degrees and in responsible for the magnetic field.
What did means by the stray losses in induction motors or transformer or generator?
Stray losses refer to secondary voltage to be inappropriately distributed to transformers, induction motors and generators. Stray losses essentially mean that there is leakage that causes a weakening of the voltage being delivered to the motor.
What is the use of ideal transformer?
Ideal transformer is useful in understanding the practical transformer..i does't have losses...
How to calculate transformer core loss and iron loss?
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

What components comprise the excitation current of a transformer?
A transformer's excitation current can be resolved into two components. The first is in phase with the primary voltage, and is responsible for the losses. The second lags the supply voltage by 90 degrees, and is responsible for magnetising the core.
What is the purpose of OC and SC tests on single phase transformer?
Open circuit and short circuit tests are performed to determine transformer characteristics. In the case of a single phase transformer, SC tests would be performed to determine the impedance. The open circuit test will give excitation information (% excitation at specific voltages, often 90%, 100% and 110%, and no load losses).
Why does the open-circuit test essentially show only excitation losses and not in copper losses?
In an open circuit test full load current does not flow, hence you wont get copper loss.
What will happen if iron losses and copper losses are equal for any transformer?
The transformer will have the maximum efficiency.
What components compose the excitation current of a transformer. How are they modeled in the transformer 's equivalent circuit?
The magnetization current can be broken-down into two components: the first is in phase with the supply voltage and is responsible for the losses, whereas the second component lags the supply voltage by 90 degrees and in responsible for the magnetic field.
Why does the short-circuit test essentially show only PR losses and not excitation losses in a transfonner?
Because a short-circuit test is done at low voltage so there is very small power loss in the magnetic core. That is because there is very magnetic flux.
What did means by the stray losses in induction motors or transformer or generator?
Stray losses refer to secondary voltage to be inappropriately distributed to transformers, induction motors and generators. Stray losses essentially mean that there is leakage that causes a weakening of the voltage being delivered to the motor.

What are the different types of magnetic losses occurring in ferromagnetic materials under AC excitation?
types of magnetic losses
What is copper loses in transformer?
Losses due to loading. As more load (more current) is put on a transformer, these losses will increase. They are often referred to as I2R (or I^2*R) losses.
Why core losses are always fixed in transformer?
Core losses are losses in the magnetic system of the transformer, such as eddy currents in the core, hysteresis losses, etc. Because of this, the losses are constant, regardless of load, assuming voltage and frequency stay fixed.
