Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A transformer core made of 100% silicon steel is designed. If an eddy current loss is noted to be 5% at full load, calculate the effect of laminate thickness if reducing it further could decrease losses by 2% at the same operating conditions.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between layer thickness and eddy current pathways.

Question 2

Discuss how a lack of insulation in a transformer could affect its performance. Outline a case study relating to transformer failures due to insulation issues.

💡 Hint: Explore examples where insulation breakdown directly correlated with failures.
