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,
Marketing of Halo 3 on the gaming community to spread the word itself. The focus on traditional media would help expand the fan base beyond established gamers and convince the public that the game was a cultural milestone. To build public interest, Microsoft made public statements that "Halo 3" would surpass media sales records, including the July 2007 record of $166 million set by the launch of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
