Ah, Cooper losses. Cooper losses occur on a computer connection, when the value of an ASCII character decreases by one in value. For example, when the value 70H, representing the letter "p", decreases by one to 6FH, representing the letter "o". So, instead of "copper losses", you end up with "cooper losses."
(And copper losses are simply the I^2R resistive losses in the windings of a transformer.)

I'm kind of rusty on my AC theory but I believe also that in a circuit with inductive reactance current lags voltage and capacitive reactance causes current to lead voltage, hence the use of capacitors to bring curent and voltage back in phase thus improving power factor.

, can ya expand a little on 'Cooper losses'? Eddy currents in brain are seriously at odds today!
