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.

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

load.
9. A 250V shunt generator has a full load armature current of 40A, under which condition the losses are:

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.

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.
