In a transformer, which of the following losses are zero?

(a) Hysteresis losses.
(b) Eddy's current losses.
(c) Copper losses.
(d) Frictional and windage losses.

Answer
(d) Frictional and windage losses.

Explanation:
  • Friction losses are involved with rotating parts of a machine. 
  • Since in a transformer all parts are stationary, friction losses will always be equal to zero, irrespective of the loading condition.
  • A transformer is a static device i.e. transformer does not consist of any type of moving component, due to which there is no frictional loss in the transformer.
  • Hence the efficiency of the transformer is highest among the all other electrical devices. It is generally more than 90%.
  • The transformer works on the principle of Faraday’s Electromagnetic Induction.
  • The sum of eddy current loss & hysteresis loss is known as iron loss or core loss, which are occurred in the core of the transformer.
  • An open circuit test is performed to calculate the iron or core losses of the transformer.
  • A short circuit test is used to find a copper loss in the transformer.
