No-load loss is the amount of power (watts) used by a device such as a transformer or electric motor when it is connected to the power line but is not delivering any useful output. For example, if your doorbell is run from a transformer, it may consume, say, 3 watts continuously. This ends up as heat due to the heating of its windings, and the energy needed to magnetise the iron core. When someone presses the doorbell, it may draw 6 watts, 3 of them going to the bell to make it ring.
Another example is an electric motor which is going round, but not driving anything. It may consume 100 watts, but its efficiency is zero. When it is driving, say, a machine tool it may consume 1000 watts, 900 of them being useful work in driving the machine.

What is loss load factor?
A load loss factor, LLF,not loss load factor,Êis a calculation used by electrical utility companies to measure energy loss.Ê Its the ratio of average load loss to peak load loss.
Which loss is maximum in no load transformer?
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.
Function of no-load in transformer in a open-circuit?
To calculate the no load current from transformer & core loss is also calculated.
Why are distribution transformers frequently designed to develop maximum efficiency at loads that are somewhat lower than rated value?
It is not designed that way. It is inherent characteristic of the equipment. It is true even for motors. Condition for maximum efficiency is when copper losses are equal to iron losses. In other words, efficiency is maximum when no load losses are equal to load losses. Efficiency will not be maximum at maximum load.
Is wattmeter reading under no load test is equal to iron loss of the transformer?
Yes; that is the principle used in no-load tests on transformers. The current in the copper windings is zero on the secondary and low on the primary, so the copper loss is negligible.

What are core losses?
Iron losses are termed as core losses. There are mainly two losses - Copper loss and iron loss. Iron loss is no 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.
