Which of the following losses is not dissipated by the stator core surface in a synchronous motor?

Correct answer: D. Windage losses

  • A. Eddy current losses in the conductors
  • B. Iron losses in the stator
  • C. Copper losses in the slot portion of the conductors
  • D. Windage losses
  • E. None of the above

Explanation

Windage loss is caused by air friction from the rotating rotor and is not dissipated by the stator core surface. Stator iron, conductor eddy-current, and slot copper losses are associated with stationary stator parts.
