Q1. A DC shunt motor draws an armature current Ia=50 A at rated load. Armature resistance Ra=0.2 Ω. Field circuit
is separately excited and its losses (field copper) are 80 W. Input electrical power to the motor terminals is 12 kW.
Calculate: (a) armature copper loss
(b) power developed in air gap (gross mechanical power)
(c) output power assuming rotational losses (core + friction + windage) = 300 W and
stray load losses = 120 W
(d) overall efficiency.

Q2. A DC shunt motor with armature circuit resistance of 0.1 Ω runs at 1600 rpm while taking an armature
current of 100 A from 230 V dc supply. The friction and windage loss is 300 W, no load core losses are 1200 W
and the total I2R loss is 2500 W. Stray load loss equals 1% of the output. Find the shaft torque of the motor and
its efficiency.

Q3. A 250V, 15 kW, shunt motor has a maximum efficiency of 88% and a speed of 700 rpm, when delivering
80% of its rated output power. The resistance of its shunt field is 100 Ω. Determine the efficiency and speed
when the motor draws a current of 78 A from the mains.
