transformer efficiency
(OP)
I have a transformer thats 50MVA
It has a combined load+noload loss of 250kW
Does this give me (a roughly estimated) transformer with an efficiency of 99.5%? - ignore hysteresis etc...
Another engineer says its got an efficiency of 50% and I'm pretty sure thats wrong ..... so just checking :)

RE: transformer efficiency
Usually, as larger is the transformer higher is the efficiency.
As mentioned in the above post, the transformer efficiency is typically in the high 90's%
See the enclose link with sample how to calculate approximately the transformer efficiency http://cuky2000.250free.com/Transf_Eff.jpg
