v This is the power delivered to the induced armature voltage, and therefore,
is also given by
Magnetization Curve
v The magnetization curve of a dc machine is a plot of EA versus the field
current IF with the machine being driven at a constant speed. (EA can be
found by measuring the open-circuit voltage at the armature terminals.)

Power Flow in a Shunt DC Motor
v Input power is given by:
v The power absorbed by the field circuit is converted to heat. The field loss is given
by:
VT =RAIA + EA
v And using
A 50-hp shunt connected DC motor has the magnetization curve shown in the figure.
The DC supply voltage is VT = 240 V, the armature resistance is RA = 0.065 Ω, the field
resistance is RF = 10 Ω, and the rheostat is set at Radj = 14 Ω. At a speed of 1200 rpm,
the rotational loss is Prot = 1450 W. If the motor drives a hoist that demands a torque of
Tout = 250 Nm independent of speed, determine the motor speed and efficiency.
Determine the motor speed (nm @ ωm) and efficiency (η)?
