When is the efficiency maximum in a transformer?
the efficiency is maximum in a transformer when no load loss is equal to load loss.
Will transformer heating be approximately the same for resistie inductive or capacitive loads of same VA rating?
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.
No load current of transformer is non sinusoidal even though sinusoidal voltage is provided in oc sc test?
eddy current loss in the transformer core is reduced by
Why transformer are rated in kVA instead of KW?
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.
Why are iron losses constant at all loads in a transformer?
because iron loss is depends on frequency and it is constant through out the operation ...irrespective from load
Which loss in transformer varies with load?
The copper losses, because they vary as the square of the secondary/primary currents.
When is the efficiency maximum in a transformer?
the efficiency is maximum in a transformer when no load loss is equal to load loss.
Function of no-load in transformer in a open-circuit?
To calculate the no load current from transformer & core loss is also calculated.
What is percentage of transformer loss at no load condition?
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.
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)
How much current does a three phase 11kv 50kva transformer draw per phase no load and fully loaded and is there any significant loss in the average delta star transformer?
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.
What is the full load loss of a 630 kilo volt ampere and primary voltage is 11000 VOLT and secondary voltage is 440 VOLT of a distribution transformer?
That type of transformer normally has about 99% efficiency so the full-load loss would be 1% or 6 kW.
Will transformer heating be approximately the same for resistie inductive or capacitive loads of same VA rating?
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.
How do you measure no-load current in a stabilizer?
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)
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
