    transformer efficiency

    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 :)

    Transformer cooler design

    I am looking at changing a xfmr from ODWF to OFAF/OFAN. If i change the heat exchangers, do I need to worry about the pressure from the pumps?
