What is the formula for calculating Transformer Losses &
Efficiency. I want to compare the Transformer efficiency at
different loading condition.

Answer Posted / vinod parasa

Efficiency = (Output/Input)*100
output=(x)(KVA * Power Factor)
input=(x)(KVA * Power Factor)+(X)^2 copperlosses+core losses

the volue of x depend on load
x=1 for full load
x=0.75 for (3/4)th load
x=0.5 for half load
x=0.25 for quarter load

copper losses are variable losses and iron losses are
constant losses.

at the time of full load copperlosses=iron losse
Full load copper losses 800 W
half load copper losses=(X)^2 copperlosses
x=0.5 for half load
=(0.5)^2 *400
=0.25*400
half load copper losses=200
