Example 3:
A series connected Dc motor has an armature
resistance of 0.5 ohm and field winding
resistance of 1.5 ohm. In driving a certain
load at 1200 rpm, the current drawn by the
motor is 20 Amp from a voltage source of VT =
220 v. The rotational loss is 150 W.
Find the output power and efficiency.
Induced voltage: E = V – Ia (Ra + Rs) = 180v
Power developed (in the rotor):
Pdev = Eb Ia = 180 x 20 = 3600 W
Power delivered to the load:
P0 = Pdev – Prot = 3600 – 150 = 3450 W
