Losses in AC machines
Losses in AC machines can be grouped as:
1. Resistive losses (I2R) in the stator circuit
2. Resistive losses (I2R) in the rotor circuit
3. Iron losses due to fundamental frequency ac flux in the core. These are mostly in the stator core.
4. Mechanical losses. These include friction in the bearings and a term called windage. (wind (like the weather) -age) Windage is
due to air turbulance and shear as the rotor and stator move past each other
5. Stray losses. The other parts that aren't easily calculated. These include harmonic losses in the core and current flow throuhg the
core (rather than staying in the conductors where you would like it to be)
