VI. ConclusionsReduction of losses in three key elements of transformers.Extensive measurements of the load-loss test and no-load test were carried out on the test transformers.Tank losses were reduced 90 W using electromagnetics shielding.Tanks losses were reduced 200 W using T plate of stainless steel in a pad-mounted transformer.
ConclusionsBehaviour of no-load losses during the manufacturing of distribution transformer. Core losses were reduced when overlap distance were reduced from 2 cm to 1 cm.
