Transformer Losses — 63 kVA
Annual kWh and rupee cost of no-load + load losses for a 63 kVA distribution transformer.
A 63 kVA unit (common on rural feeders) burns its core losses 24×7 whether anyone draws power or not. Enter average loading and tariff — the annual cost figure is what the BEE star-level premium competes against, and it usually wins inside five years.
Losses = no-load + load×K². Core loss never sleeps — a lightly-loaded oversized transformer wastes most of its losses at 3 a.m. Higher BEE star levels cost 10–20% more upfront and typically pay back in 3–5 years at commercial tariffs.

Frequently asked questions
How much energy does a transformer lose?+
Two streams: core (no-load) loss burns constantly — a 250 kVA unit's ~540 W is ~4,700 kWh/yr at zero load — and copper (load) loss grows with loading squared. At 50% average load, total losses typically run 1–2% of energy throughput; this tool prices both at your tariff.
When does a BEE star-rated transformer pay for itself?+
Higher star levels cut losses 20–35% for a 10–20% price premium. At commercial tariffs (₹7–9/kWh) and normal loading, payback lands in 3–5 years on a 25–35 year asset — among the most certain investments in electrical infrastructure. The savings row computes your case.
Why does my idle facility still consume electricity?+
Partly the transformer: core losses burn whether you do or not. A holiday-shuttered factory with a 630 kVA unit still loses ~26 kWh/day to magnetization. For seasonally idle sites, de-energizing (where supply arrangements allow) or right-sizing pays visibly.
At what loading is a transformer most efficient?+
Where core loss equals copper loss — typically 45–60% load. Efficiency at 20% load is markedly worse (core loss dominates the small throughput) and droops again past 90% (copper loss × K²). Sweep this tool's loading input and the curve reveals itself.
