                                According to research, a significant portion of a transformer's energy inefficiency can be attributed to losses occurring in its core and windings. This brings us to a crucial clarification: **Are iron loss and copper loss the same?** The answer is unequivocally no; these terms are derived from two completely different fields of study, one in electrical engineering and the other, often mistakenly assumed, in nutrition.
