Temperature correction for transformer load loss

RE: Temperature correction for transformer load loss
1. resistive losses in the windings
2. eddy current losses in the windings
3. eddy current losses in the tank
temperature would affect #1 in that the resistance of the windings increases as the temperature increases (copper & aluminum have a positive temperature coefficients for resistivity). as the resistacne goes up so do the losses.
