The purpose of providing an iron core in a transformer is to
A. provide support to windings
B. reduce hysteresis loss
C. decrease the reluctance of the magnetic path
D. reduce eddy current losses
A good voltage regulation of a transformer means
A. output voltage fluctuation from no load to full load is least
B. output voltage fluctuation with power factor is least
C. difference between primary and secondary voltage is least
D. difference between primary and secondary voltage is maximum
If the percentage impedances of the two transformers working in parallel are different, then
A. transformers will be overheated
B. power factors of both the transformers will be same
C. parallel operation will be not possible
D. parallel operation will still be possible, but the power factors at which the two transformers operate will be different from the power factor of the common load
An ideal transformer will have maximum efficiency at a load such that
A. copper loss = iron loss
B. copper loss < iron loss
C. copper loss > iron loss
D. none of the above
These harmonics are produced by saturation of core. Saturation of core means the thermal limit after which a core or magnet loose its magnetic strength or stops production of magnetic lines of force
