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

Correct answer: C. hysteresis and eddy current losses

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

Explanation

With applied voltage and frequency fixed, hysteresis and eddy-current losses depend mainly on the core flux and frequency, so they remain nearly constant as load changes. Copper loss varies with the square of load current.
