Transformer Losses Explained

Transformers are essential components in electrical engineering, playing a crucial role in power transformation. Understanding Transformer Losses, the factors that influence their efficiency and performance is important for optimizing their operation. Resistive Loss (Copper Loss) Resistive loss, also known as…

Induction Generator- Working, Torque -Speed Characteristic

An induction generator is also called an asynchronous generator. An induction machine can work as a generator. For working as a generator initially, the three-phase induction motor is started as a motor. During motoring operation, it draws reactive volt-amperes from…
