TERM TEST
SOLVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. What is the watts output of a 25hp

motor at full load?

2. A 150 kW generator has a efficiency of

91% at full load. Calculate the input in
kilowatts and the power loss.

3. A 15hp motor operates at an efficiency

of 87.5% at full load. If the stray power
loss is approximately one-fourth of the
total loss, calculate the copper loss.

4. The rotational loss in a generator was

found to be 780 watts when the
generated emf was 132 volts. Determine
the rotational loss for generated voltages
of 138 and 126 volts.

5. The output torque of a motor is 69.2

lb-ft when it operates at 950 rpm.
Calculate the losses in the machine and
its efficiency if, under this condition, the
power input is 10900 watts.

6. A 10 kW, 220 V compound generator is

operated at no load at the proper
armature voltage and speed, from which
the stray power loss calculations are
determined to be 705 watts. The shunt-
field resistance is 11o ohms, the
armature resistance is 0.265 ohm, and
the series-field resistance is 0.035 ohm.
Assume a 2V brush drop and calculate
the full load efficiency.

7. A 250V shunt generator has a rated

armature current of 40A and the
following losses at full load: friction and
windage = 200 watts; core loss = 260
watts; shunt field loss = 100 watts; brush
contact loss = 80 watts; armature copper
loss = 400 watts. Assuming that the
maximum efficiency occurs when the
approximated constant losses are equal
to those losses that vary as the square of
the load, calculate the armature current
for the condition of maximum efficiency.

8. A 25 kW series generator has a

efficiency of 85% when operating at
rated load. If the stray power loss is 20%
of the full load loss, calculate the
efficiency of the generator when it is
delivering a load of 15 kW, assuming that
the stay power loss is substantially
constant and the other losses vary as the
square of the load.

9. A 250V shunt generator has a full load

armature current of 40A, under which
condition the losses are:
friction+windage = 200 watts; shunt field
= 100 watts; core = 260 watts; brush
contact = 120 watts; armature copper =
400 watts. For the operation at maximum
efficiency, when the constant losses are
equal to those losses that vary as the
square of the load, calculate: a. tha
armature and line currents, b. the load
power, c. the maximum efficiency.

10. A 20 hp motor has an efficiency of

88.5% and operates continuously to drive
a ventillator at full load. Calculate: a.
the power loss, b. the energy loss per
month, assuming operation for 200 hours
during that period, c. the cost of the
energy loss at 1 1/2 cents per
kilowatthour.

11. An enclosed motor has a rating of 50

hp. The cover plates are removed and
the machine is located where it is
capable of cooling itself extremely well.
If tests show that it can carry 28% more
load without excessive heating, what
rating should be given the motor?

12. A dynamotor has an output rating of

0.16A at 500V, under which condition it
takes 11A from a 12V storage battery.
Calculate the efficiency.

13. When a motor is operating under

load, the armature takes 8280 watts and
its current is 36A. If the armature circuit
resistance, including brushes, is 0.4 ohm,
what horsepower is developed by the
motor?

14. A 5 hp, 230V shunt motor takes 18A

when operating at full load. The shunt
field resistance is 115 ohms and the
armature resistance is 0.25 ohm.
Calculate the value of the starter resistor
if the armature current is limited to 1.5
times the rated value at the starting
instant.

15. A 220V shunt motor has an armature

resistance of 0.32 ohm and a field
resistance of 110 ohms. At no load the
armature current is 6A and the speed is
1800 rpm. Assume that the flux does not
vary with load and calculate: a. the
speed of the motor when the rated line
current is 62A (assume 2V brush drop), b.
the speed regulation of the motor.
