Losses
Losses in Electrical Equipments Loss is the energy spent in internal activity of the equipment and not contributing in its output. However it is unavoidable. Various types of losses are as under. 1 . Equipments have internal circuit made of conductor for current path. Current flows in the circuit when connected to supply. Current flowing in the circuit face opposition. Part of the energy supplied to equipment for its function is spent in overcoming this opposition to make the way for current. The extent of oppose and energy spent on this account depends upon the type of the material used as conductor in the circuit, its length, cross section and temperature. This opposing effect of conductor is identified as Electrical Resistance. As the energy spent on this account is loss. Material used as conductor is mostly copper. Therefore loss occurring in it is known as Copper Loss . However the circuit may of any conduc...
