What is transformer and it's looses

Question

Accepted Answer

A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.

Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage in electrical power transmission and distribution systems.
They consist of two or more coils of wire, known as windings, which are wound around a core made of magnetic material.
The primary winding receives electrical energy from the input circuit and produces a magnetic field.
This magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary winding, which is connected to the output circuit.
Transformers have losses associated with them, including copper losses and iron losses.
Copper losses occur due to the resistance of the windings and result in the conversion of electrical energy into heat.
Iron losses, also known as core losses, occur due to hysteresis and eddy currents in the core material and result in energy loss.
Efficiency of a transformer is the ratio of output power to input power and is affected by these losses.

Accepted Answer

Transformer is a static machine which is Transform one voltage an other voltage on same frequency. In it following losses-

1) copper loss

2)eddy current loss

3) iron loss
