A 10 kW, 250 V, dc shunt motor with an armature resistance of 0.8 Ω and a field resistance of 275 Ω takes 3.91A, when running light at rated voltage and rated speed. What conclusions can you draw from the above data regarding machine losses? Calculate the machine efficiency as a generator when delivering an output of 10 kW at rated voltage and speed and as a motor drawing an input of 10 kW. What assumption if any do you have to make in this computation?
