Series Field Copper Loss in DC Generator Calculator

Calculate Series Field Copper Loss





Formula

The formula to calculate the Series Field Copper Loss is:

\[ P_{se} = I_{se}^2 \cdot R_{se} \]

Definition

Series Field Loss is the power dissipated by the series field of a generator due to current flowing through it. Series Field Current is the current due to series field windings in a DC generator. Series Field Resistance refers to the electrical resistance of the field winding in a series-wound DC motor or generator.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ P_{se} = 0.832^2 \cdot 123.5 = 85.489664 \]
