How are the energy losses reducedin a transformer ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Energy losses in a transformer can be reduced by :
(i) Using laminated core instead of thick metallic core.
(ii) Selecting a suitable material for the core whose hysteresis loop is narrow and permeability is high.
