Efficiency of A Transformer

The efficiency of a transformer is calculated by taking the output power and dividing it by the input power. The main losses that reduce efficiency are iron losses and copper losses. Iron losses occur in the transformer core and copper losses occur in the windings. For a medium or large power transformer, the maximum efficiency is typically between 50-70%.
