In an actual transformer the iron loss remains practically constant from no load to full load because:____________?

Correct answer: C. core flux remains practically constant

  • A. value of transformation ratio remains constant
  • B. permeability of transformer core remains constant
  • C. core flux remains practically constant
  • D. primary voltage remains constant
  • E. secondary voltage remains constant

Explanation

With rated voltage and frequency held constant, the core flux is approximately constant from no load to full load. Since hysteresis and eddy-current losses mainly depend on flux and frequency, the iron loss remains nearly unchanged.
