Is Copper Loss Affected By Power Factor?

Open in App

Solution

Explanation:
Transformers transport electric power, hence their ratings are in $K V A$ , and the power factor is determined solely by the load's rating in $K W$ .
As a result, losses in the transformer, whether core or copper, do not affect the power factor.
Hence, the Copper loss is not affected by the power factor.

"choke is used to cut currents with minimal power loss" is this statement even true? Considering the fact that when power factor is unity it has less line loss, a choke seems to only create more power loss by decreasing the power factor? Or does choke have no relation to power factor?
