OBJECTIVES
Determination of no load losses of different types of DC motors.
THEORY
The losses during no-load conditions of Dc machine will be
mechanical, copper, and iron losses.
The mechanical losses are caused by friction on bearings, brushes and
ventilation. They are not affected by the load and depend only on rotation
speed. Copper losses (field copper loss and small armature copper loss)
may be disregarded due to the low current absorbed in these conditions.
When in rotation, the rotor is subject to the alternating flux generated
by excitation winding on the stator and this causes the iron losses due to
hysteresis and eddy currents. So the input power to the motor P can be
written as:
