In a given transformer for a given applied voltage, losses which remain constant irrespective of load changes are__________?

Correct answer: A. hysteresis and eddy current losses

  • A. hysteresis and eddy current losses
  • B. friction and windage losses
  • C. copper losses
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

At fixed applied voltage and frequency, hysteresis and eddy-current losses depend mainly on the core flux and remain nearly constant as load changes. Copper loss varies with load current squared, so it is not constant.
