Using 10% for a quick calc is fine, if you only use it once. But you then multiplied that error by 3. The resulting assumption - that the transmission losses with 3 transformers would be ~73% (0.9^3) is completely wrong, given that we know total grid transmission losses are in the order of <10%

- mrjin 5y agoWell, look at your calc again. Transmission loss per my calc is actually 1 - 0.9^3 = 27.1%. At grid level, high efficient part(mainly stable industry loads) will cover up low efficiency of household loads.
