Question 1

What is copper loss attributed to in transformers?

  • Resistance of windings
  • Eddy currents
  • Hysteresis

πŸ’‘ Hint: This is related to current flow and material properties.

Question 2

True or False: Hysteresis loss occurs due to the internal friction in the iron core.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the magnetization and demagnetization process.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A transformer has a copper resistance of 0.2 ohms and carries a primary current of 20 A. Calculate the copper loss and discuss its implications on overall efficiency.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the loss formula to get the calculated loss and think about how that affects total power needed.

Question 2

Discuss how transforming the core material from iron to an iron-silicon alloy could reduce hysteresis losses in a practical transformer application.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the properties of materials and friction in cycles.
