Q1/A/ A 50-hp, 250-V, 1200 r/min shunt de 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 r/min. What is the motor's efficiency?

Question
(Q1/A/ A 50-hp, 250-V, 1200 r/min shunt de 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 r/min. What is the motor's efficiency?
