A 25 kVA transformer has 300 W of iron loss and 400 W of full-load copper loss. Its efficiency at half load and unity power factor is nearest

  • A.50.0 per cent
  • B.96.7 per cent
  • C.94.6 per cent
  • D.99.0 per cent

Answer: B

At half load the output is 12.5 kW and the copper loss falls to 100 W, so the losses total 400 W and the efficiency is \( 12{,}500/12{,}900 = 0.969 \). The copper loss falls with the square of the loading, which is the key step.
