Introduction
Transformers change voltage levels between their input (primary) and output (secondary)
terminals by using their electro-magnetism principles. Although the voltage levels are
different, there is no power gain from a transformer. On the contrary, there is small power
loss due to the transformer core and hysteresis losses.
Transformer Ratio:
* 100
Transformer Efficiency:
Efficiency of a transformer can be defined as the output power divided by the input
power. i.e.
% Efficiency =
* 100%
Transformers are the most highly efficient electrical devices. Most of the transformers
have full load efficiency between 95% to 98.5% .
Efficiency of a transformer will be maximum when copper loss and iron losses are equal.
