      Hello,

      Can anyone explain the difference between ohmic and total loss in the field calculator? I want to obtain the copper loss of a winding by integrating these parameters with my model and as it turns out they give different values. Which one should I use to obtain the I^2*R loss?

      Hi,nOhmicLoss is the loss density of current conducting conductors. Total loss is not loss density, and it also includes other type of losses like core loss.n
