In a D.C. generator all of the following could be the effects of iron losses except___________?

Correct answer: C. Increase in terminal voltage

  • A. Loss of efficiency
  • B. Excessive heating of core
  • C. Increase in terminal voltage
  • D. Rise in temperature of ventilating air

Explanation

Iron losses convert electrical energy into heat, reducing efficiency and increasing the core and ventilating-air temperature. They do not increase the generator terminal voltage, so that is the exception.
