'Windage' means 'air resistance'. So windage loss occurs in rotating machines due to air resistance.

Because the RPM remains same


Is there any windage loss in transformer?

In this context, 'wind', in 'windage', is pronounced as 'wind' -as in 'breeze' or 'gale'. 'Windage means air-resistance, and this only applies to rotating machines, such as generators and motors, whose rotors have to overcome air-resistance (windage) as they rotate. As transformers have no moving parts, they are NOT subject to windage loss!

Friction and windage causes mechanical loss in DC machines.


What is windage loss in a dc machine?

Friction losses due to airCommentIt's worth pointing out that the windage is pronounced 'wind-age' (i.e. 'wind' as in breeze, not 'wind' as in coil!), and not 'winde-age'.


What are the possible losses for a dc generator?

Friction in the bearings and in the commutator, and windage loss. Electrical resistance of the armature and field windings and the brushes.


Why torque is not zero in no-load speed?

Because even on no load the motor has frictional losses in the bearings and windage around the rotor.


What causes 3-phase motors to heat up?

It is not only 3 phase motor, but every electrical device heats up. The reason is the current flowing through the windings causes the I^2*R heat loss. Apart from that, in case of an induction motor, the alternate cycle of magnetization and demagnetization of core material causes the hysterisis loss and eddy current loss. Last but not the least, there are friction and windage losses for a rotating electrical machine. All of these losses are dissipated as heat energy and hence the machine heats up.


What are the losses have an induction machines?

A three phase induction machine have the Following losses:- 1. Stator core loss 2.Stator Ohmic loss 3.Rotor core loss 4.Rotor ohmic loss 5.Friction losses 6.windage losses 7.Stray losses 8.Also it'll depends upon the types of motor as if it is a slip ring type IM then it will have sparking losses at slip contact etc etc which are very small in comparison to above losses.

Why the no-load current of an induction motor is high compared to a transformer?

Because of the presence of the air-gap between stator and rotor in motor the magnetization current is much higher than that of a transformer in addition to the friction and windage losses due to the rotation of the rotor.
