  • The winding losses taking place during the current flowing through the winding are known as Copper losses
  • Copper losses are directly proportional to square of the current.
  • These are variable losses dependent on load current.
  • Windage losses are the losses sustained by a machine due to the resistance offered by air to the rotation of the shaft.
  • These are mechanical losses and independent of load.
  •  

    • As the armature core of electrical machine is made of iron and it rotates in a magnetic field, a small current gets induced in the core.
    • Due to this current, eddy current loss and hysteresis loss occur in the armature iron core.
    • Iron losses are also called as core losses or magnetic losses.
    • These are constant losses and independent of load.
