The core loss of a single phase, 230/115 V, 50 Hz power transformer is measured from 230 V
side by feeding the primary (230 V side) from a variable voltage variable frequency source
while keeping the secondary open circuited. The core loss is measured to be 1050 W for
230 V, 50 Hz input. The core loss is again measured to be 500W for 138 V, 30 Hz input. The
hysteresis and eddy current losses of the transformer for 230 V, 50 Hz input are respectively.

An open circuit test is performed on 50 Hz transformer, using variable frequency source and
keeping V/f ratio constant, to separate its eddy current and hysteresis losses. The variation of
core loss/frequency as function of frequency is shown in the figure
The hysteresis and eddy current losses of the transformer at 25 Hz respectively are
The hysteresis and eddy current losses of the transformer at 25 Hz respectively are3

The mean thickness and variance of silicon steel laminations are 0.2 mm and 0.02
respectively. The varnish insulation is applied on both the sides of the laminations. The mean
thickness of one side insulation and its variance are 0.1 mm and 0.01 respectively. If the
transformer core is made using 100 such varnish coated laminations, the mean thickness and
variance of the core respectively are
