Losses in Transformers and Efficiency Improvement Techniques

May - July 2025

Transformers play a critical role in the transmission and distribution of electrical energy.

Losses in Transformers and Efficiency Improvement Techniques

They enable voltage conversion with minimal energy loss, making them fundamental to power systems. However, like any electrical equipment, transformers are not 100% efficient. Understanding the types of losses in transformers and methods to improve their efficiency is crucial for designing more reliable and energy-efficient power systems.

1. Introduction to Transformer Losses

When electrical energy is transferred from one circuit to another via electromagnetic induction in a transformer, some energy is inevitably lost. These losses can be broadly categorized into:

•Core Losses (Iron Losses)

•Copper Losses (Ohmic Losses)

•Stray Losses

•Dielectric Losses

Each type of loss contributes to a reduction in overall transformer efficiency, increased operational costs, and potential heating issues that could reduce transformer lifespan.

2. Core (Iron) Losses

Core losses occur in the transformer's magnetic core due to alternating magnetic flux. These are independent of the load and are present as long as the transformer is energized.

2.1 Hysteresis Loss

This loss is due to the reversal of magnetization in the transformer core during each cycle of the alternating current. It depends on:

•The material of the core •Frequency of the magnetic field •Maximum flux density

Formula: Ph=ηBmax1.6fVP_h = η B_{max}^{1.6} f VPh=ηBmax1.6fV

Where: •η\etan: Steinmetz coefficient

•BmaxB_{max}Bmax: Maximum flux density •fff: Frequency •VVV: Volume of the core

2.2 Eddy Current Loss

Eddy currents are loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field. These currents circulate in the core material and dissipate energy as heat.

Formula: Pe=KeBmax2f2t2VP_e = K_e B_{max}^2 f^2 t^2 VPe=KeBmax2f2t2V
