A 10kW 220 volt compound generator is operated at no load at the proper armature voltage and speed, from which the stray power loss calculations are determined to be 705 watts. The shunt field resistance is 110 ohms, the armature resistance is 0.265 ohm, and the series field resistance is 0.035 ohm. Assume a 2 volt brush drop and (a) calculate the full load efficiency. (b) Calculate also the maximum efficiency.

Question

A 10kW 220 volt compound generator is operated at no load at the
proper armature voltage and speed, from which the stray power loss
calculations are determined to be 705 watts. The shunt field resistance is
110 ohms, the armature resistance is 0.265 ohm, and the series field
resistance is 0.035 ohm. Assume a 2 volt brush drop and (a) calculate the
full load efficiency. (b) Calculate also the maximum efficiency.
