The losses occurring in a D.C. generator are given below. Which loss is likely to have highest proportion at rated load of the generator ?
Correct answer: C. armature copper loss
- A. hysteresis loss
- B. field copper loss
- C. armature copper loss
- D. eddy current loss
Explanation
At rated load, armature current is high and the armature copper loss, Iₐ²Rₐ, rises accordingly. Hysteresis and eddy-current losses are mainly core-speed and flux dependent, while field copper loss is comparatively constant.
