Efficiency of a transformer

The document discusses the efficiency of transformers. It notes that transformer efficiency is measured as the ratio of output to input power. Losses include copper and iron losses, with iron losses dependent on load. For distribution transformers with varying daily loads, all-day efficiency is measured, which accounts for the transformer's capability over the full day and is always lower than commercial efficiency measured at a single time.

Efficiency of a transformer
- 2. Efficiency of a transformer
- 4. Condition for Maximum Efficiency
- 6. All day efficiency • The commercial Efficiency of a transformer is given by the ratio of output power to input power • The losses in the transformer can be classified into copper losses and iron losses. The copper losses (hysteresis and Eddy Current Losses) are independent of the load. The iron losses though are dependent on the load. • In the case of the distribution transformers, the load is continually varying. It is low in the day time and high in the evenings and night. Therefore, efficiency measured at any one point of the day would not be an accurate reflection of the transformer's capability.
- 7. • Hence, We have the all day efficiency measurement of the distribution transformers. The formula for the all day efficiency of the distribution transformers is • The All day Efficiency is always lesser than the commercial efficiency of the transformer.
