1. A 15-hp motor operates at an efficiency of 87.5% at full load.

If the stray power loss is

approximately one-fourth of the total loss, calculate:
a. Total copper loss.
b. Electrical efficiency
c. PA
d.
PO = 15hp
Efficiency = 87.5%
stray power loss = ¼ of total loss
Pi = PO / eff = 15(746)/0.875 = 12.79 kW
Total P loss = Pi - Po
= 12788.6 – 11190
= 1598.6 W
Stray power loss = (1/4)(1598.6)
= 399.6 W
Copper loss = total loss – stray power loss
= 1598.6 – 399.6
= 1198.96 W
Copper loss = 1200W

2. A 220 V DC shunt motor runs at 500 rpm when the armature current is 50 A. calculate the speed
if the torque is doubled. (Consider Rarmature = 0.2 Ω & Vbrush = 1.5V)
