    1. Copper loss is the result of resistance in the transformer’s windings, which causes heat to be generated. This loss can be minimized by using thicker wire for the windings and by keeping the windings as cool as possible.
    2. Iron loss is the result of energy being absorbed by the transformer’s core, which also causes heat to be generated. This loss can be minimized by using a high-quality magnetic core material and by keeping the core as cool as possible.
    3. Eddy current loss is the result of currents flowing in the transformer’s core, which cause heat to be generated. This loss can be minimized by using a laminated core, which is made up of many thin layers of magnetic material rather than a single solid piece.
