Which mechanism causes increased energy loss in power transformers operating commercial AC grids?

💡 Explanation

When AC voltage is applied, the transformer core experiences continuously changing magnetic flux, inducing eddy currents because of Faraday's Law, causing resistive heating and energy loss in the core lamination. Therefore eddy currents increase energy loss, rather than hysteresis, corona, or skin effect which require different conditions.
