The efficiency of a large power transformer at rated load is typically

  • A.exactly 100 per cent
  • B.above 99 per cent
  • C.about 90 per cent
  • D.about 70 per cent

Answer: B

Correct answer: above 99 per cent

Large power transformers are among the most efficient machines built, commonly reaching 99.5 per cent or better at rated load, because they have no moving parts and hence no friction, windage or rotor loss. Even so, half a per cent of a 500 MVA unit is 2.5 MW of heat, which is why the cooling plant is substantial.
