Best Answer

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.

How do you calculate copper in dc motor?

Copper is not something that is calculated. The amount of copper might be, or copper losses / load losses, might be, but "copper" is not calculated.


Calculate copper losses at 75c?

Copper Loss at 75 C = Copper Loss at Ambient Temperature C * (310/(235+Ambient Temperature C))


How is copper losses reduced in transformers?

how to reduce copper losses in a transformer Copper losses are due to the resistance of the copper (or aluminum) windings. To reduce copper losses the transformer would have to be rewound with heavier gage wire.


Where does copper losses in dc machines?

Copper losses are also referred to as I^2 R losses. Copper loss is due to heating due to the current passing through the copper windings.


What are copper losses in a transformer?

Copper losses are purely voltage-drop losses (I squared R) caused by the resistance of the windings, as opposed to hysteresis losses and eddy current losses (so-called iron losses), which are magnetic in nature. They are called copper losses whether the winding conductors are made of copper or not, by the way.


Can a Auto transformer have more load losses than its no load losses?

Power transformers have both no load and full load losses. The key is copper wiring, as copper varies with the square inches of the secondary and primary currents.


Why is copper loss negligible during open circuit test?

Copper losses are energy losses from the windings, due to the currents passing through them. During an open-circuit test, there is no secondary current (so no secondary copper losses) and the primary current is very low (so the primary copper losses are minimum).


What are the different kinds of losses in machines?

stray losses,armature copper losses,iron losses(Hysteresis and eddy current losses),mechanical losses(friction and windage losses)


What are the Advantages and disadvantages of delta and wye transformers?

copper losses Comment: Advantages: Their operation is silent They have a high efficiency They are relatively safe Disadvantages Expensive Copper losses and hysteress losses


What will happen if iron losses and copper losses are equal for any transformer?

The transformer will have the maximum efficiency.


What are core losses?

Iron losses are termed as core losses. There are mainly two losses - Copper loss and iron loss. Iron loss is no load loss.


Why transformer power expressed in KVA?

because of its losses i.e iron and copper losses. since iron loss depends on voltage (v)and copper loss depends on current(i).
