Abstract

"For many years the standard practice, in calculation of conventional efficiency of d.c. machines, has been to include stray load losses as equal to 1% of the output. This assumption may be true for large, compensated d.c. machines but it is known to be small for smaller, uncompensated, general-purpose, industrial-type machines of open design. An A.I.E.E. Committee on Rotating Machines was formed to investigate whether the present practice of assigning 1% for the stray load loss is justified or not. They reached a conclusion, reported in 1949, after investigating 243 stray loss tests on different motors ranging from 1/2 hp to 50 hp, that the present practice should be continued until a new method is available which gives a direct measure of these losses...In this article, an attempt is made to measure stray load losses directly by a short circuit test"--Introduction, page 1-2.
