To determine

The three main sources of heat in a transformer.

Explanation of Solution

The transformer is an electrical device that is used to transfer energy in the form of electricity from one circuit to another circuit. The electric energy transformation takes place by the process of electromagnetic induction. The transformer is used to increase or decrease the voltage as per the requirements of the application.

There are three main sources of heat generation in the transformer are listed as below.

  1. 1) Electric winding of transformer.
  2. 2) Core material of transformer
  3. 3) Losses in transformer such as, flux leakage, eddy currents, and hysteresis.
