Overall Efficiency of DC Motor given Input Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overall Efficiency = (Input Power-(Armature Copper Loss+Field Copper Losses+Power Loss))/Input Power
η_o = (P_in-(P_cu(a)+P_cu(f)+P_loss))/P_in
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Overall Efficiency - Overall Efficiency Electrical is defined as the combined efficiency of all the systems inside and electrical machine.
Input Power - (Measured in Watt) - Input Power is defined as the total power supplied to the electrical dc motor from the source which is connected to it.
Armature Copper Loss - (Measured in Watt) - The armature copper loss is variable and depends upon the amount of loading of the machine.
Field Copper Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Field Copper Losses is variable and depends upon the amount of loading of the machine.
Power Loss - (Measured in Watt) - Power Loss is the loss of the electrical power network supply to an end user.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Input Power: 78 Watt --> 78 Watt No Conversion Required
Armature Copper Loss: 1.25 Watt --> 1.25 Watt No Conversion Required
Field Copper Losses: 2.81 Watt --> 2.81 Watt No Conversion Required
Power Loss: 41.34 Watt --> 41.34 Watt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_o = (P_in-(P_cu(a)+P_cu(f)+P_loss))/P_in --> (78-(1.25+2.81+41.34))/78

Evaluating ... ...
