UNIT - 4 TESTING OF DC MACHINES

Testing of DC machines can be broadly classified as

i) Direct method of Testing

ii) Indirect method of testing

DIRECT METHOD OF TESTING:

In this method, the DC machine is loaded directly by means of a brake applied to a water cooled

pulley coupled to the shaft of the machine. The input and output are measured and efficiency is

determined by η=

. It is not practically possible to arrange loads for machines of large

capacity.

INDIRECT METHOD OF TESTING:

In this method, the losses are determined without actual loading the machine. If the losses are

known, then efficiency can be determined. Swinburne’s test and Hopkinson’s test are commonly

used on shunt motors. But, as series motor cannot be started on No-load,these tests cannot be

conducted on DC series motor.

(i) BRAKE TEST: is a direct method of testing.

In this method of testing motor shaft is coupled to a

Water cooled pulley which is loaded by means of weight

as shown in figure4.1.

= suspended weight in kg

= Reading in spring balance in kg

R = radius of pulley

N = speed in rps

V = Supply voltage

I = Full Load Current

This method of testing can be used for small motors only because for a large motor it is difficult to

arrange for dissipation of heat generated at the brake.

(ii)Swinburne’s Test:

This test is a no load test and hence cannot be performed on series motor. The circuit connection is

shown in Figure 4.2. The machine is run on no load at rated speed which is adjusted by the shunt

field resistance.

ADVANTAGES

1. Economical, because no load input power is sufficient to perform the test

2. Efficiency can be pre-determined

3. As it is a no load test, it cannot be done on a dc series motor

DISADVANTAGES

1. Change in iron loss from no load to full load is not taken into account. (Because of armature

reaction, flux is distorted which increases iron losses).

2. Stray load loss cannot be determined by this test and hence efficiency is over estimated.

3. Temperature rise of the machine cannot be determined.

4. The test does not indicate whether commutation would be satisfactory when the machine is

loaded.

IO = No load current; Ish = shunt field current

Iao = No load armature current = (Io - Ish)

V= Supply Voltage

No load input =VIo watts.

No load power input supplies

(i) Iron losses in the core

(ii) Friction and windings loss and

(iii) Armature copper loss.

Let I = load current at which efficiency is required

Ia = I – Ish if machine is motoring; I + Ish if machine is generating

Efficiency as a motor:

Input = VI; Ia2ra = (I- Ish)

1. A 220 V DC shunt motor at No-load takes a current of 2.5 A. the resistance of the armature

and shunt field are 0.8Ω and 200Ω respectively. Estimate the efficiency of the motor when the

input current is 32 A.

SOLUTION: No-load input = 220 x 2.5 = 500 W

8 =9

99 = 1.1 A;8: = 2.5 − 1.1 = 1.4>;8:

?: = 1.4) X 0.8 = 1.6 W

Constant losses = 550 – 1.6 = 548.4 W

When input current is 32 A, Ia = 32 – 1.1 = 30.9 A

8:?: = 30.9)0.8 = 764; Total losses = 764 + 548.4 = 1315 W

Input = 220 X 32

Therefore output = (220 X 32) – 1315 W

Therefore η = "'(

2. A 440V D.C Shunt motor takes no load current of 25A. The resistance of shunt field and

armature are550 Ω & 1.2Ω respectively. The full load line current is 32A. Determine the full

load output &efficiency of the motor.

2. A 500 V DC shunt motor when running on No-load takes 5 A. Armature resistance is 0.5Ω and

shunt field resistance is 250Ω. Find the output in kW and η of the motor when running on full

load and taking a current of 50 A.

(iii) Hopkinson’s Or Regenerative Or Back To Back Test:

This is a regenerative test in which two identical DC shunt machines are coupled mechanically and

tested simultaneously. One of the machines is run as a generator while the other as motor supplied by

the generator. The set therefore draws only losses in the machines. The circuit connection is shown

in Figure 4.3. The machine is started as motor and its shunt field resistance is varied to run the motor

at its rated speed. The voltage of the generator is made equal to supply voltage by varying the shunt

field resistance of the generator which is indicated by the zero reading of the voltmeter connected

across the switch. By adjusting the field currents of the machines, the machines can be made to

operate at any desired load with in the rated capacity of the machines

ADVANTAGES:

i. The two machines are tested under loaded conditions so that stray load losses are

accounted for.

ii. Power required for the test is small as compared to the full load powers of the two

machines. Therefore economical for long duration tests like “Heat run tests”.

iii. Temperature rise and commutation qualities can be observed.

iv. By merely adjusting the field currents of the two machines the two machines can be

loaded easily and the load test can be conducted over the complete load range in a short

time.

DISADVANTAGES:

i. Availability of two identical machines

ii. Both machines are not loaded equally and this is crucial in smaller machines.

iii. There is no way of separating iron losses of the two machines which are different because

of different excitations.

iv. Since field currents are varied widely to get full load, the set speed will be greater than

rated values.

The efficiency can be determined as follows:

Motor input = V(I1+I2)

Generator output = VI1 ----------------- (a)

If we assume both machines have the same efficiency ‘η’, then,

Output of motor = η x input = η x V (I1+I2) = input to generator

Output of generator = η x input = η x ηV (I1+I2) = η2V(I1+I2)-----(b)

Shunt field copper loss in motor = VI4

Armature copper loss in generator = (8 + 8|)?:

ALTERNATIVE CONNECTION:

The Figure 4.4 shows an alternate circuit connection for this test. In this connection the shunt field

windings are directly connected across the lines. Hence the input current is excluding the field

currents. The efficiency is determined as follows:

Motor armature copper loss =(8+8)?:

Generator armature copper loss = 8?:

Power drawn from supply = VI1

Stray losses = 8 − (8+8)?:−8?: = W(say) ………….. 17

1. The Hopkinson’s test on two similar shunt machines gave the following Full load data.Line

voltage = 110 V; Line current = 48 A; Motor armature current = 230 A; Field currents are 3 A and

3.5 A; Armature resistanceof each machine is 0.035 Ω; brush drop of 1V/brush; Calculate the

efficiency of each machine.

SOLUTION:

Motor: Armature copper loss = (230 0.035 = 1851.5 W

Brush contact loss = 230 X 2 = 460 W

Total armature copper loss = 1851.5 + 460 = 2312 W

Shunt field copper loss = 110 X 3 = 330 W

Total copper loss = 2312 + 330 = 2642 W

Generator: Generator armature copper loss = (188.5)2 x 0.035 = 1244 W

Brush contact loss = 188.5 X 2 = 377 W

Total armature copper loss = 1244 + 377 = 1621 W.

Shunt field copper loss = 110 X 3.5 = 385 W

Therefore total copper loss = 1621 + 385 = 2006 W

Total copper loss for set = 2642 + 2006 = 4648 W

Total input = 110 X 48 = 5280 W

Therefore stray losses = 5280 – 4648 = 632 W

Stray losses/machine = |

316

Total losses = 2312 + 330 + 316 = 2958 W

Motor input = 110 X 233 = 25630 W. Motor output = 22672 W

ηmotor =

[|9 = 88.45%

ηgenerator: total losses = 1621 + 385 +316 = 2322

Output of generator = 110 X 185 = 20350 W.

Therefore η = 9|[9

2. In a Hopkinson’s test on a pair of 500 V, 100 kW shunt generator. The following data was

obtained:Auxiliary supply 30 A at 500 V; Generator output current 200 A; Field current 3.5 A and

1.8 A; ra = 0.075 Ω for each machine; voltage drop at brushes = 2 V/machine; calculate the

efficiency of the machine as a generator.

SOLUTION:

Motor armature copper loss = (230)2 X 0.075 + 230 X 2 = 4428 W

Motor field copper loss = 500 X 1.8 = 900 W

Generator armature copper loss = (200)2 X 0.075 + 200 X 2 = 3400 W

Generator field copper loss = 500 X 3.5 = 1750 W.

Total copper loss for 2 machines = 4428 + 900 + 3400 + 1750 = 10478 W

Power drawn = 500 X 30 = 15000 W

Therefore stray loss for the two machines = 15000 – 10478 = 4522 W.

Stray loss / machine = Z[

= 2261 W

Therefore total losses in generator = 3400 + 1750 + 2261 = 7411 W

Generator output = 500 X 200 = 100000 W

Therefore ηgenerator = 99999

999990Z = 93.09 %

3. In a Hopkinson test on 250 V machine, the line current was 50 A and the motor current is 400 A

not including the field currents of 6 and 5 A. the armature resistance of each machine was 0.015Ω.

Calculate the efficiency of each machine.

SOLUTION:

Motor armature copper loss = (400)2 X 0.015 = 2400 W

Generator armature copper loss = (350)2 X 0.015 = 1838 W

Input power = 250 X 50 = 12500 W

Ws = stray losses = 12500 – (2400 + 1838) = 8262 W; Ws per machine =

4130

Motor efficiency: armature copper loss of motor = 2400 W;

Motor field copper loss = 250 X 5 = 1250 W; Total motor losses = 2400 + 1250 + 4130 = 7780 W

Motor input = 250 X 400 + 250 X 5 = 101250 W.

Therefore η = 9[9"9

9[9 = 92.3 %

Generator efficiency:

Generator armature copper loss = 1838 W;Generator field copper loss = 250 X 6 = 1500 W

Total losses of Generator = 1828 + 1500 + 4130 = 7468 W

Generator Output = 250 X 350 = 87500 W

Efficiency of Generator = [99

4. The following test results were obtained while Hopkinson’s test was performed on two similar DC

shunt machine. Supply voltage = 250 V; Motor Field Current = 2 A; Generator Field Current = 2.5A;

Generator Armature Current = 60 A; Current taken by the two armature from supply = 15 A;

Armature Resistance/Machine = 0.2Ω; Calculate the efficiency of motor and generator under these

Both machine field coils are in series and both run at same speed so that iron and friction losses are

made equal.

Load resistance ‘R’ is varied till the motor current reaches its full load value.

SOLUTION:

Total input = 630 X 56 = 35280 W

Output = 400 X 44 = 17600 W

Total losses = 35280 – 17600 = 17680 W

Rse = Z9[ = 0.714 Ω

Total copper loss = (0.3 + 2 X 0.714) 562 + 44

2 X 0.3 = 6006 W

Therefore stray losses = 17600 – 6006 = 11674 W

Stray losses per motor = Z = 5837 W

Motor efficiency: motor input = 590 X 56 = 33040 W

Armature circuit copper loss = (0.714 + 0.3) 562 = 3180 W

Stray losses = 5837 W

Total losses = 3180 + 5837 = 9017 W

Therefore efficiency = ||9Z9"9||9Z 100 = 72.7%

Generator efficiency: Armature copper loss = 0.3 X 442 = 581 W

Series field copper loss = 40 X 56 = 2240 W.

Stray losses = 5837 W

Therefore total losses = 581 + 2240 + 5837 = 8658 W

Output = 400 X 44 = 17600 W

Therefore ηgenerator = 99

Calculate the efficiency of both the machines. SOLUTIONSOLUTIONSOLUTIONSOLUTION::::

(V) Retardation or running down test:

This method is applicable to shunt motors and generators and is used for finding the stray losses. If

armature and shunt copper losses are known for a given load, efficiency can be calculated. The

circuit is shown in figure 4.11.

Machine is speeded up slightly beyond its rated speed and then supply is cut off from the armature while keeping the field excited. Armature will slow down and its kinetic energy is needed to meet rotational losses. i.e., friction and windage losses.

Kinetic energy of the armature = 8 I = Moment of inertia of the armature ω = Angular velocity. Rotational losses; N = Rate of loss of K.E. Rate of loss of Kinetic energy W =

1. A retardation test is made on a separately excited.

(2) A retardation test is carried out on a 1000rpm D.C machine. The time taken for the speed to fall from 1030 rpm to 970rpm is (a) 36secs with no excitation. (b) 15secs with full excitation & (c) 9 seconds with full excitation & the armature supplying an extra load of 10A at 219V. Calculate (1) The moment of inertia of the armature is kg.m2. (2) Iron loss and (3) Themechanical losses at the mean speed of 1000rpm. SOLUTION:SOLUTION:SOLUTION:SOLUTION:

(i) When the arm slows down with no excitation its kinetic energy is used to over come mechanical losses only (no flux, no Iron loss)

(ii) With excitation, Kinetic Energy is used to supply mechanical & iron losses ie., stray losses. (iii) If Moment of Inertia is in kgm2 unit then rate of loss of energy is in Watts. Mechanical loss Wm = ®­
