Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A transformer has core losses of 250 W and full-load copper losses of 650 W. If it operates at a load of 60% with a power factor of 0.9, calculate its efficiency.

💡 Hint: Remember to efficiently handle units and calculations.

Question 2

For a given transformer, if maximum efficiency occurs at a load of 0.75 of its rated capacity, with copper losses of 300 W, derive the value of core losses it is operating against.

💡 Hint: This relates to understanding proportional losses against rated conditions.
