Mechanical Losses in DC Shunt Generator Formulas

Mechanical losses occur in the moving parts of the DC machine due to friction and windage. These losses are also called rotational losses. The mechanical losses depend upon the speed of the machine. And is denoted by P_m. Mechanical Losses is usually measured using the Watt for Power. Note that the value of Mechanical Losses is always negative.
