Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
rotational loss
one of several losses in a rotating electric machine that are primarily due to the rotation of the armature and include the friction and windage losses. Also called mechanical loss. They can be determined by running the machine as a motor at its rated speed at no load, assuming the armature resistance is negligible.
