Losses in electrical systems Losses in electrical systems In an electrical or electronic circuit or power system, losses can be classified into two categories: technical and non-technical losses. The term technical losses refers to part of the energy in play dissipates by unwanted effects, including energy lost by unwanted heating of resistive components (electricity is also used for the intention of heating, which is not a loss), the effect of parasitic elements (resistance, capacitance, and inductance), skin effect, losses in the windings and cores of transformers due to resistive heating and magnetic losses caused by eddy currents, hysteresis, unwanted radiation, dielectric loss, corona discharge,
Latin word order approval: He notes that the sentence would be ruined rhythmically if the word order of the last three words were changed to "comprobavit fili temeritas". What was apparently admired here was the clausula of "comprobavit" with its double trochaic – u – – rhythm; whereas "temeritas" would make a rhythm of u u u –, which Cicero says would produce an unsatisfying effect in Latin, despite being recommended by Aristotle. The 1st-century A.D. teacher of oratory, Quintilian, remarks that hyperbaton (switching words round) is often used to make a sentence more euphonious. He gives the example of the following sentence
