What are the losses that occur in transformer?

Iron losses are caused by alternating flux in the core of the transformer as this loss occurs in the core it is also known as Core loss. Iron loss is further divided into hysteresis and eddy current loss. read more

Iron losses. These losses occur in the core of the transformer and are generated due to the variations in the flux. These losses depend upon the magnetic properties of the materials which are present in the core, so they are also known as iron losses, as the core of the Transformer is made up of iron. read more

Types of Losses in a Transformer There are various types of losses in the transformer such as iron losses, copper losses, hysteresis losses, eddy current losses, stray loss, and dielectric losses. The hysteresis losses occur because of the variation of the magnetisation in the core of the transformer and the copper loss occur because of the transformer winding resistance. read more

Losses in a Practical Transformer. The different losses in the transformer are as follows. Click image to enlarge. Copper Losses (Winding Resistance) Current flowing through the windings causes resistive heating of the conductors. At higher frequencies, skin effect and proximity effect create additional winding resistance and losses. read more
