Description : State why a transformer always have an efficiency of more than 90%.
Answer :
As transformer is static device with no moving parts, the losses due to friction & windage are completely absent. Hence transformer has efficiency of more than 90%.

Description : State and justify which of the following two transformers is better: Transformer A = 4% voltage regulation Transformer B = 6% voltage regulation
Answer :
Transformer A with 4% voltage regulation is better. Justification: Voltage regulation refers to the percentage change in secondary voltage when load is changed from no-load to full-load with primary voltage ... 4% voltage regulation, which is less as compared to 6% of transformer B, it is better.
