In a rotary converter I2R losses as compared to a D.C. generator of the same size will be___________?
Correct answer: B. less
- A. same
- B. less
- C. double
- D. three times
Explanation
A rotary converter performs conversion with fewer armature windings and generally has lower copper resistance than a DC generator of comparable rating. Consequently, its I²R loss is less.
