Cómo se calculó
- · Pérdida de energía anual: W = (Po + Pk × LF²) × horas, donde Po = pérdida en vacío, Pk = pérdida en carga, LF = factor de carga promedio.
- · Costo anual de pérdidas: Closs = W × tarifa.
- · Factor de capitalización de pérdidas: A = [1 − ((1+g)/(1+r))ᴺ] ÷ (r − g) — el valor presente de $1 de costo anual de pérdidas.
- · TCO = Compra + PV(pérdidas) + PV(O&M) − PV(valor de rescate), todo descontado a la tasa r.

Preguntas frecuentes
What is transformer total cost of ownership (TCO)?
TCO = purchase price plus the present value of lifetime no-load and load losses, O&M and replacement. Losses dominate: over 20-30 years, the capitalized cost of losses often equals 1-2x the purchase price. The calculator discounts losses per IEC 60076 and IEEE C57.120 and compares S11/S13/S20/amorphous/SCB13.
How much more does a low-loss transformer cost and how fast does it pay back?
S13 costs 10-20% more than S11 and cuts No-Load Loss ~25%, typically paying back in 2-4 years where tariffs exceed $0.08/kWh. Amorphous-core transformers cost 20-40% more but cut no-load loss 60-70%, ideal for lightly loaded units. The calculator computes the payback and net present value of the premium.
What is the difference between no-load and load losses?
No-load (iron) loss is constant whenever the Transformer is energized, independent of load — the dominant cost for lightly loaded units. Load (copper) loss varies with the square of load current and dominates at high loading. A transformer loaded at 30% is loss-dominated by no-load loss; the calculator weights both by load profile.
What efficiency grades do transformer standards define?
IEC 60076-20 and GB 20052 define efficiency classes (e.g. Tier 1/Tier 2 in EU, and China's grade 1/2/3). Higher grades mean lower no-load and load losses. China's GB 20052-2020 grades transformers 1-3, with grade 1 being the most efficient. The calculator aligns models to these grades.
When does an amorphous-core transformer make economic sense?
Amorphous-core units cut no-load loss 60-70% but cost 20-40% more, so they win for transformers that run lightly loaded or energised 24/7 with low utilization (e.g. 20-30% loading). At high loading the load loss dominates and the premium pays back slower. The calculator evaluates payback against your load profile.
