The no-load current of a transformer is the current which is drawn from the source at rated voltage and frequency even when no actual load current is being supplied.
The no-load current is what must be drawn to overcome the inherent and unavoidable losses of the transformer's components. Those losses comprise the primary circuit's resistance (known either as the "copper losses" or as the "resistance losses") and the transformer's magnetic reluctance (known either as the "iron losses" or as the "magnetic losses").
Reluctance is the techical description given to the energy necessary to excite the magnetic circuit and overcome its hysteresis, the effects of eddy currents, etc.

What is the no load current of 1600 kva transformer?
No load current depends on the design of the transformer, and what voltage it is energized at. It will typically be below 1% of full load, and can be significantly below 1% for utility sized transformers.
What is meant by rated voltage rated current and rated power of a transformer?
The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.
Why no load current in transformer small?
No load current is energizing current. This is effectively "lost" power, power used in the transformer to energize the core. It, therefore, should be small!
What is a full load current in single phase transformer?
It is the rated maximum current that can be taken from the transformer. This is equal to the VA rating divided by the output voltage. So a 6 kVA 240 v transformer would have a maximum current rating of 6000/240 or 25 amps.
What is the function of the primary current when the secondary winding of the transformer is open?
When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.
What is the percentage of the no-load current in a transformer to its full load current?
2 to 5% of full load current
What is full load magnetising current of transformer?
is it primary current ?
What is the no load current of 1600 kva transformer?
No load current depends on the design of the transformer, and what voltage it is energized at. It will typically be below 1% of full load, and can be significantly below 1% for utility sized transformers.
How is no load current reduced?
No load current, in a transformer for example, is the current necessary for exciting the transformer. If you wish to keep it energized, and you need to keep it energized at full voltage, there is nothing you can do to reduce this other than replace the transformer with one that has lower no load current. If you are referring to a different piece of equipment, you may need to specify what you are meaning by "no load current".
The current load of a transformer is the current drawn by the?
load
What is zero current transformer?
It is a transformer with No load attach to it.
How much magnetizing current of 2.5MVA transformer?
The magnetizing current of a transformer, such as a 2.5 MVA transformer, typically ranges from 2% to 5% of the full-load current. To calculate the magnetizing current, you first need to determine the full-load current using the formula: ( I_{full-load} = \frac{S}{\sqrt{3} \times V} ), where ( S ) is the apparent power (2.5 MVA) and ( V ) is the line voltage. Assuming a common line voltage (like 11 kV), the magnetizing current would then be roughly between 50 A to 125 A, depending on the specific transformer design and characteristics.
No-load and full load transformer?
A: a transformer will follow the rule of input output ratio with no load. As soon as a load is applied there will be changes in the ratio
What is meant by rated voltage rated current and rated power of a transformer?
The ratings state the limits on voltage and current for operating the transformer at full load. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the rated VA of the transformer. Transormers are not usually rated directly for power because this depends on the power factor of the load applied.
What do you mean by no load of transformer?
Transformers voltage ratings are typically at full load. For instance, A 24 VAC, 10A transformer will have a terminal voltage of 24 when it is feeding 10 amps to a load. Since the transformer windings have some resistance, the transformer designer has to wind the transformer to put out more than 24 volts, since some of the voltage will be lost, dropped across the resistance of the secondary windings. But, according to Ohm's law, the voltage dropped across a resistance is proportional to the current (E=IR). If we take away the 10A load, there is no current, and therefore no winding voltage drop! The excess voltage the designer built in now appears at the terminals. This is the no-load voltage. In my example above, when we remove the 10A load, the output voltage of the transformer might rise to 26.4V. We would say the no-load voltage of that transformer is 26.4V The ratio of full-load voltage to no-load voltage is called the transformer's "regulation factor". It is calculated as: (no-load voltage - full-load voltage) / full-load voltage * 100. Ours is: ((26.4 - 24) / 24) * 100 = 10%.
Why no load current in transformer small?
No load current is energizing current. This is effectively "lost" power, power used in the transformer to energize the core. It, therefore, should be small!
What is the full load current for1600 kva transformer?
It depends on the rated voltage. Take 1600 KVA and divide by KV, and you will get A.
