Question

Transformers are usually designed so that their efficiency is as close to 100% as possible. Describe two features in transformer design which help to achieve high efficiency?
One Line Answer

Solution

Features which provide greater efficiency to a transformer are:
(i) The core of the transformer is laminated which prevents the formation of eddy currents.
(ii) A closed soft-iron core is used which reduces the magnetic field link loss and hysteresis loss.
