Buchholz relays protect transformers by detecting gas from faults, using floats to trigger alarms or disconnect power, ensuring safety and reliability.

An ideal transformer is a transformer with 100% efficiency, meaning no energy is lost as heat, magnetizing losses, or any other types of losses.

To calculate transformer efficiency, you need to use the formula: efficiency = (output power / input power) x 100%. The transformer's efficiency is impacted by both core losses (hysteresis and eddy current losses) and copper losses. The conditions for maximum efficiency occur when the copper losses equal the core losses.
