Transformer Losses
Several types of the losses affect transformer efficiency:
- Copper Loss: The Energy dissipated due to current flow through windings’ resistance.
- Hysteresis Loss: The Energy loss as the core magnetization direction changes.
- Eddy Current Loss: The Circulating currents causing resistive heating in core.
- Flux Loss: The Energy dissipation in surrounding magnetic field.
Power Transformers
Power transformers are essential devices in the electrical system that play a critical role in transmitting electricity from power plants to distribution networks and end-users This comprehensive guide provides an in-depth overview of power transformers, covering their primary terminologies, working principles, step-by-step design considerations, and practical examples.
