Testing of DC motor
Testing of machines is used for finding losses, efficiency and temperature
rise. Direct method is used, for small machines. Indirect method is used for large shunt
machines. In practice, seinburne,s test are mostly used.
Disadvantage
1. Accuracy in determining the mechanical power output of the motor is limited.
2. It is difficult to provide full load for the large capacity motor.
This method consists of measuring the losses and then calculating the efficiency. The
simplest of the indirect test is Swinburne’s test. Hopkinson test is commonly used test
under this method on shunt motors. This method also enables the determination of
losses without actually loading the machine. The power is required to supply the losses
only, so there is no difficulty in applying this method even to very large machines
The disadvantage of this method is that machine is run light during this test which gives
no indication to the temperature rise on load or to the commutating qualities of the
machine.
