Distribution transformers have core loss

  • A. More than full load copper loss
  • B. Equal to full load copper loss
  • C. Less than full load copper loss
  • D. Negligible compared to full load copper loss

Answer: C. Less than full load copper loss

Explanation: Distribution transformers are on load for only part of the day, so they are designed with core loss less than full-load copper loss (max efficiency at part load).
