Study of self-loss in distribution transformers in textile mills.

The article reports on a study which evaluates self-loss in distribution transformers in textile mills. The authors explain that distribution transformers convert HT electricity into LT supply in appliances and textile mills. They used two identical meters and instrument transformers to quantify self-loss in transformers. Results show that the self-loss of transformers is in the range of 2.6 to 3.1 percent and that it varies according to loading. Efficiency rate is found to be at 97 percent.
