Because the gearing between the load and the electrical motor gives a large mechanical advantage to the motor end of the linkage. Electrical motors have relatively lightweight rotors which rotate very fast. Gears take this low power but speedy input and leverage it to become slower and more powerful, similar to how any lever proportions force input versus output based on the ratio of lengths between the lever arms.

This same imbalance between forces and speed explains why cars need transmissions. The motor rotates very fast and the wheels rotate much more slowly. Cars with manual transmissions can be parked on hills without any parking brake if they are left in gear, the lower the better, which will not roll away due to the same principle.

Why are whooping cranes endangered?

Whooping cranes are endangered primarily due to habitat loss, hunting, and collisions with power lines. Their low reproductive rate and sensitivity to disturbance also contribute to their endangered status. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and increase the population of whooping cranes.

What is iron loss?

Iron losses (Pi) are independent of of load which occur due to pulsation of flux in the core. Iron losses include both Hysteresis loss and eddy current loss and is same at all the loads.

Why iron loss is constant but copper loss is variable in a transformer?

Iron loss it includes the core loss is partically the same at all loads and copper loss the value of cu loss is found from short circuit test


Will transformer heating be approximately the same for resistie inductive or capacitive loads of same VA rating?

Yes because the transformer heating (power losses) depend on the load current and the load voltage. It can be assumed that the voltage stays more or less constant, therefore the iron loss is also constant. The copper loss depends on the square of the load current. So it is the VA of the load that determines the power loss and any heating.


Why no power loss in pure inductance?

An inductor is a device which stores energy as a magnetic energy.... Ideal inductor have no resistance.....so there is no power loss.... power loss = (I*I)*R


What is the power loss in dB?

Power loss in dB is a measure of how much power is lost in a signal as it travels through a medium or a system. It is calculated using the formula: Power loss (dB) = 10*log10(P1/P2), where P1 is the initial power and P2 is the final power. The higher the power loss in dB, the more power is lost in the signal.
