transformer load loss

transformer load loss

[tranz′fȯr·mər ′lōd ‚lȯs] (electricity) Losses in a transformer which are incident to the carrying of the load; load losses include resistance loss in the windings due to load current, stray loss due to stray fluxes in the windings, core clamps, and so on, and to circulating current, if any, in parallel windings.
