Definition of "Copper Loss" |
Same as conductor loss. Conductors were traditionally made of copper, hence the name. / The power lost because of the resistance of the conductors. In transformers the power lost because of current flow through the resistance of the windings. Also shown as the power equation I2R, referring to the power dissipation of the winding. / Copper loss is the term often given to heat produced by electrical currents in the conductors of transformer windings, or other electrical devices. Copper losses are an undesirable transfer of energy, as are core losses, which result from induced currents in adjacent components. The term is applied regardless of whether the windings are made of copper or another conductor, such as aluminium. Hence the term winding loss is often preferred. The term load loss is closely related but not identical, since an unloaded transformer will have some winding loss. / Parallel tuned circuit, is an electric circuit consisting of an inductor, represented by the letter L, and a capacitor, represented by the letter C, connected together. The circuit can act as an electrical resonator, an electrical analogue of a tuning fork, storing energy oscillating at the circuit's resonant frequency. / (1) electric loss due to the resistance in conductors, windings, brush contacts or joints, in electric machinery or circuits. Also referred to as I²R, the losses are manifested as heat. |
