When 2200 volts, 60 Hz is impressed on a certain transformer, the core loss is 240 Watts. When the frequency of the impressed voltage is changed to 25 Hz and the voltage is reduced to maintain the same flux density as before, the core loss falls to 75 Watts. Neglect impedance drop. What is the hysteresis loss at 60 Hz?
