   A 200V, long-shunt compound-wound generator has a full-load output of 20kW. The various resistances are as follows; armature (including brush contact) 0.15 ohm, series field 0.025 ohm, interpole field 0.028 ohm, shunt field (including the field-regulator resistance) 115 ohm. The iron losses at full load are 780W, and the friction and windage losses 590W. Calculate the efficiency at full load.


Given

V = 200

KW = 20 = 20000 W

Ra = 0.15 ohm

Rsef = 0.025 ohm

Rif = 0.028 ohm

Rshf = 115 ohm

Li = 780 W

Lf = 590 W


To find

1. Efficiency


Solution

Shunt field current, Ishf = V / Rshf

                                       = 200 / 115

                                       = 1.74 A

We know that P = V x I

               20000 = 200 x I

  Load current  = 100 A

Therefore Armature current  I = 100 + 1.74 = 101.7 A


Cu loss in armature = I2R

                             = 101.72 x (0.15 + 0.025 + 0.028)

                             = 2099.6 W = 2.1 KW


Cu loss in shunt field = Ishf x V

                                     = 1.74  x 200

                                     = 348 W = 0.348 KW


Total Cu loss = 2.1 + 0.348 = 2.448 KW

 

 Efficiency = output / input

                   = 20 / (20 + 2.448 + 0.59 + 0.78)

                   = 20 / 23.818

                   = 0.839

                   = 83.9 %
