How This Calculator Works
Loading Range Guide
Below 40% — Underloaded; consider right-sizing
40–85% — Optimal operating range
85–100% — High loading; plan capacity addition
Above 100% — Overloaded; immediate action needed

Transformer Loading — Why It Matters
Transformers are most efficient between 60–80% of rated load. Running above 90% causes excessive heat which degrades insulation and reduces transformer life. Running below 30% wastes the fixed cost investment and increases losses as a percentage of power delivered. Monitoring transformer loading monthly helps plan capacity additions before overloading occurs.
