(2) POWER FLOW AND LOSSES IN DC MACHINES

Aim:
To obtain the Output power and efficiency of a DC shunt motor. Understand
the types of losses in a machine, and the power flow diagram.

Name Plate Details:


Power = 50 hp
Armature voltage = 250 volts
Armature current = 170 amp
Speed = 1200 rpm
Field voltage = 250 volts
Field current= 5.0 amps
Field Winding= shunt

Apparatus:
Software: MATLAB.

Theory: refer to references.

P545 Example 8- 8. A 50-hp, 250-V, 1200 rpm shunt dc motor has a rated
armature current of 170 A and a rated field current of 5 A. When its rotor is
blocked, an armature voltage of 10.2 V (exclusive of brushes) produces 170
A of current flow, and a field voltage of 250 V produces a field current flow
of 5 A. The brush voltage drop is assumed to be 2 V. At no load with the
terminal voltage equal to 240 V, the armature current is equal to 13.2 A, the
field current is 4.8 A, and the motor's speed is 1150 rpm.
(a) How much power is output from this motor at rated conditions?
(b) What is the motor's efficiency?

//This calculation can be performed by using a MATLAB script file
