The major power-system loss is probably the loss in the resistance of power cables, both overhead and underground.

The power loss can be reduced by using a thicker wire, at a greater cost for purchase of the wire. Obviously there is an optimum, minimum-cost size for the cable. A theory for deciding it is called Kelvin's Law.

Overhead cable usually have a cross-section area of 150-400 mm-squared.

Explain the power flow diagram of induction motor?

The input power, Pin, is reduced by different loss sources in the system. These reductions are the difference between input power & output power. The losses are: PSCL: Stator copper losses, or I2R losses Pcore: Core losses PRCL: Rotor copper losses PF&W: Friction & windage losses Pmisc: miscellaneous losses All of these losses reduce the input power. The output power is the input power minus all of the losses. Pout = Pin - PSCL - Pcore - PRCL - PF&W - Pmisc

How do you calculate copper losses?

copper losses are power losses due to flow of current in the wires or resistances,if the resistance is R, current is I then copper losses are I2R. for a 3-phase system; copper losses are same but for a single line, total losses are 3I2R.
