Efficiency = output power in watts/input power in watts
The losses in the transformer can be classified into copper losses and iron losses. The copper losses (hysteresis and Eddy Current Losses) are independent of the load. The iron losses though are dependent on the load.
In the case of the distribution transformers, the load is continually varying. It is low in the day time and high in the evenings and night. Therefore, efficiency measured at any one point of the day would not be an accurate reflection of the transformer's capability.
Hence, We have the all day efficiency measurement of the distribution transformers
The formula for the all day efficiency of the distribution transformers is
Efficiency = Output in kWh for 24 hours/ Output in kWh for 24 hours
The All day Efficiency is always lesser than the commercial efficiency of the transformer.
and about 22,000 miles of new high-tech power lines to carry the electricity to cities, according to the study from the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
