 Losses in transformer
 Efficiency
 Condition for maximum efficiency
 Separation of losses
 Separation of iron loss
 All-day efficiency.
 In any electrical machine, 'loss' can be
defined as the difference between input
power and output power.
 An electrical transformer is an static device,
hence mechanical losses (like windage or
friction losses) are absent in it.
 A transformer only consists of electrical
losses (iron losses and copper losses).
 All these losses in the transformer are
dissipated in the form of heat.
 Copper loss is due to power wasted in the
form of I2R, , where ‘I’ is the current passing
through the windings and R is the internal
resistance of the windings(primary and
secondary).
 It is clear that Cu loss is proportional to
square of the current, and current depends
on the load. Hence copper loss in transformer
varies with the load.
 Hence it is also called as variable loss.
Wcut= I2
pRp + I2
sRs
 These losses occur in the core of the
transformer and are generated due to the
variations in the flux.
 They depend upon the magnetic properties of
the material used for the construction of
core. Hence these losses are also known as
core losses or iron losses (Wi).
 In transformer, the leakage magnetic flux linked with
the conducting parts like steel core or iron body of
the transformer, which will result in induced emf in
those parts, causing small circulating current in them.
We= CeBm
2 *f2
 This current is called as eddy current. Due to these
eddy currents, some energy will be dissipated in the
form of heat.
 Lamination of core material can reduce eddy current
loss.
 Hysteresis loss is due to the repeated
magnetization and demagnetization in the
transformer core. The energy is lost in each
hysteresis cycle.
 This loss depends upon the volume and
grade of the iron, frequency of magnetic
reversals and value of flux density. It can be
given by,
Wh=Ch(Bm)1.6 *f (watts)
 soft magnetic materials with low hysteresis
such as silicon steel and CRGO Steel are
usually used in core to reduce the loss .
 The total core loss is,
Wi= Wh+We
Wi= Ch(Bm)1.6 *f + CeBm
2 *f2
 The stray losses is due to the presence of
leakage field including eddy currents in tank
walls and conductors.
 The winding of the transformer should be
designed such a way to minimize the stray
loss this is achieved by splitting of
conductors into small strips to reduce eddy
current loss.
 Dielectric loss occurs in the insulating
material of the transformer that is in the oil
of the transformer, or in the solid insulations.
 When the oil gets deteriorated or the solid
insulation get damaged, or its quality
decreases and because of this, the efficiency
of transformer is effected.
 The percentage of these losses are very small
as compared to the iron and copper losses so
they can be neglected.
 The Efficiency of the transformer is defined as the ratio
power output to the real power input.
 In any practical transformer there is losses hence the
efficiency is,
 In terms of input and losses the efficiency
can be written as
 Where power output,
Po = xSrcosф2
 Total losses , Wt = Wi+

 Thus the efficiency of transformer can be
written as

Hence, for a constant load current, maximum efficiency
occurs when the load power factor is unity. (i.e, resistive load).

ALL DAY EFFICIENCY
• Computing efficiency by taking the ratio of RAM power output
by real power input best judges the performance of power
transformers which are energised only during load conditions.
• The loads connected to power transformers are normally at
constant level around full-load.
• Distribution Transformers are installed by Electric Board Power
Grid are kept energied for all the twenty four hours a day, seven
days a week and 52 weeks a year.
 The loads connected to such transformer keep on
changing from time to time.
 In a day of 24 hrs , such distribution transformer
are subjected to full load hardly for about 4-5 hrs.
 In remaining period they are only partly loaded .
Sometimes they are on no-load.
 This means that iron-loss is incurred at constant
level for all 24 hrs while copper losses incurred in
the transformer keep on changing with respect to
change in load condition.
 Therefore the performance of distribution
transformer by taking into account the enery
delivered and energy consumed by it for all the
24 hrs in a day.
 DEFINITION:
 All day efficiency, of the transformer is defined
as the ratio of energy delivered by the
transformer for 24 hrs in a day to the energy
consumed by the transformer from supply
system for the same period.

 All - day efficiency =

 To have high All-day efficiency, distribution
Transformers are designed and constructed with
(I)low iron losses and (ii) the load at which
maximum efficiency occurs.
 Wi ---> iron loss
 Wcut ---> Full load copper loss.
 Energy output kWHo = ∑Xi Sr Cos𝛟2 X Hi
