Question

Explain copper-loss in a atransformer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.Copper losses are produced in the winding of transformer, current flowing both in primary and secondary windings of the transformer dissipate energy in the form of heat due to I2R losses. ... Also for higher loading, heat losses inside the transformer increases which affect the life of insulation.
