Problem 5 (25%)
A DC series motor having a rating of 8 kW, 1100 rpm, 240 V, 50 A has the following losses:
No Load:
Mechanical Losses: 250 W
Iron Losses: 300 W
Full Load:
Copper losses in armature 400 W
Copper Losses in series field 100 W
Calculate, and plot the efficiency (Vs Mechanical power) at
0% Load, 25% Load, 50% Load, 75% Load, 100% Load, 150% Load.
Use the characteristic curves of problem 4.
Problem 6 (15%)
Thermistors are used to measure the hot spot winding temperature of a 1200 kW ac motor,
insulated class F. If the motor runs at full load, what is the maximum temperature these detectors
should indicate in ambient temperatures: 40 °C, 30°C, 14 °C?
