Which of the following losses are significantly reduced by laminating the core of a DC generator?(a) Hysteresis losses(b) Eddy current losses(c) Copper losses(d) Windage lossesThis question was posed to me during a job interview.This intriguing question originated from Efficiency of DC Machine- 1 topic in portion Efficiency and Testing of DC Machines

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) EDDY current losses

The BEST explanation: HYSTERESIS losses can be minimized by using MATERIAL with lower hysteresis coefficient. Eddy current losses can be minimized by using laminated sheets of core structed together. To reduce other losses, current should be minimized, can’t be reduced as it also has lower limit.
