Iron losses are due to energization of the transformer; they do not depend on the loading of the transformer. They will vary depending on the voltage applied to the transformer. The best model of this is a parallel connection to the ideal transformer winding.

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


Why the iron losses in a transformer is constant at all load prove that?

since the iron loss depends only on the volage and frequency,the supply volage is 230v ac.Hence iron loss is always constant


What are the constant losses in a DC machine?

Constant losses Those losses in a d.c. generator which remain constant at all loads are known as constant losses. The constant losses in a d.c. generator are: (a) iron losses (b) mechanical losses (c) shunt field losses


Are the iron losses constant at all speeds?

Iron losse are constant at all different levels of speed


What will happen if iron losses and copper losses are equal for any transformer?

Well, isn't that a happy little coincidence! If iron losses and copper losses are equal in a transformer, it means that the transformer is operating at its maximum efficiency. This balance allows the transformer to work smoothly and effectively, creating a harmonious flow of energy. Just like when all the colors blend together perfectly on our canvas, creating a beautiful masterpiece.


Is this statement true or false the maximuim efficiency of transformer is occured when iron losses is equal to full load copper losses?

Copper losses are directly related to loading of the transformer. Iron (core) losses are a result of magnetizing of the core of the transformer, and are relatively constant from no load to full load. With this in mind, it should be clear that the above statement is false. Maximum efficiency results with low core losses, and low copper losses. Copper losses cannot be helped, so it is important to minimize core losses to increase the efficiency of a transformer.AnswerYes, it is perfectly correct -well, with the proviso that transformers normally operate somewhat below full load and, so, are designed to achieve maximum efficiency somewhat below full load. A transformer's maximum efficiency does indeed occur when the copper losses and iron losses are equal. Unfortunately, the mathematical proof of this is too complicated to reproduce here, I suggest that you check out any reputable electrical engineering textbook.


What is the reason to use open circuit and short circuit methods to find Transformer losses?

The transformer can be tested on open and short circuit to find the iron losses and copper losses separately, which uses a fraction of the power than having to run the transformer on full-load.


How eddy current losses andhysterious losses can be reduced?

eddy current can be reduced by using laminated cores. and also be reducing the thickness of the stampings. transformer iron loss is the combination of eddy current loss and hysterisis loss. both the losses depend on core of the transformer and iron loss is a constant loss.


Why are stripes of iron plates joined instead of using a single block of iron core in a transformer?

To reduce heat generated and eddy current losses in transformer's core during operation.


Why transformer power expressed in KVA?

because of its losses i.e iron and copper losses. since iron loss depends on voltage (v)and copper loss depends on current(i).


How many types of losses in transformer?

Basically two types: 1. Copper losses:- when the transformer is loaded, current flows in primary and secondary winding, there is loss of electrical energy due to the resistance of the primary winding, and secondary winding and they are called variable losses. These losses depend upon the loading conditions of the transformers. Therefore, these losses are also called as variable losses. 2. Iron losses or core losses:-The losses that occur in the core are known as core losses or iron losses. Two types of iron losses are: > eddy current loss > Hysteresis loss.
