Copper loss varies with the load.
the efficiency is maximum in a transformer when no load loss is equal to load loss.
Yes because the transformer heating (power losses) depend on the load current and the load voltage. It can be assumed that the voltage stays more or less constant, therefore the iron loss is also constant. The copper loss depends on the square of the load current. So it is the VA of the load that determines the power loss and any heating.
eddy current loss in the transformer core is reduced by
Transformers are rated in VA or kVA. That is because the voltage is limited by the power loss in the magnetic core, and the current is limited by the power loss in the resistance of the windings. The rated voltage times the rated current gives the transformer's rating in kVA.
because iron loss is depends on frequency and it is constant through out the operation ...irrespective from load
the efficiency is maximum in a transformer when no load loss is equal to load loss.
The copper losses, because they vary as the square of the secondary/primary currents.
To calculate the no load current from transformer & core loss is also calculated.
In a no-load transformer, the maximum loss is typically the core loss, also known as iron loss. This loss consists of hysteresis and eddy current losses that occur in the transformer's magnetic core due to alternating magnetic fields. Since the transformer is not supplying load current, the copper losses (which occur due to resistance in the windings) are minimal or negligible. Thus, core loss becomes the dominant factor during no-load conditions.
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.
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.

Measuring No-LoadIn theory the no-load current of a transformer is zero. But in practice there is iron loss and core loss in the transformer, so there is power loss. Connect an ammeter in series with the stabilizer to measure the no-load current. Check your energy meter at no-load to see how much power is consumed. Ohms law: I(Amps) = E(voltage) divided by R(resistance). In the case of coils (transformer), the resistance of the coil would simply be the total impedance (Z). If I am remembering this correctly, you get, I=E/(R+Z)
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
eddy current loss in the transformer core is reduced by
A no-load test is done with the normal supply connected in the way the transformer is intended to be used. It is also known as an open-circuit test to distinguish it from a short-circuit test, and its purpose is to measure the power loss in the iron core of the transformer and the no-load current drawn from the supply.
