a. A 55-hp, 550-V shunt wound motor draws a line current of 5 A at no load. The shunt field resistance is 285 Ω and the armature resistance exclusive of brushes is 0.35Ω. The brush drop at full-load is 4V. At full-load, the motor draws a line current of 88 A. Calculate the efficiency at full-load.
b. The input and output powers of a 200 V shunt motor are 30 and 28 kW respectively. The field and armature circuit resistances are 40 Ω and 0.0125 Ω respectively. Determine the efficiency of the motor if the output power is reduced to 10 kW.
