Losses in DC Machines
• There are different types of losses occur in DC machines
• These losses appear in the form of heat. Due to the heat, efficiency of DC machines decreases
➢ These are losses that occur due to resistance of the various windings of the machine
1. Copper losses
➢ The copper losses are also known as I2R losses because these losses occur due to current flowing through the resistance
of the windings.

➢ The copper losses are also known as:
1. Winding losses 2. I2R losses 3. Ohmic losses
➢ In dc machines, there is also a brush contact loss due to brush contact resistance. In practical calculation, this loss is
generally included in armature copper loss.
4. Resistive losses
Losses in DC Machines
➢ The iron losses occur in core of the armature of a DC machine due to rotation
of the armature in the magnetic field.
2. Iron (Core) losses
➢ Because these losses occur in core of the armature, these are also called
core losses.
➢ These losses cause heating of armature core
➢ There are two types iron or core losses:
(a) Hysteresis Loss
(b) Eddy current Loss
Losses in DC Machines
➢ These losses occur in armature core due to magnetic field reversal in the armature core when it passes under the
successive magnetic poles of different polarity
2. Iron (Core) losses
(a) Hysteresis Loss
▪ The part of the armature remains under the N-pole for half a revolution
▪ The same part of the armature goes under the S-pole for the remaining half cycle
▪ Thus, in one complete cycle, the magnetic field reversal happens in the armature core.
▪ Some energy consumed during magnetic reversal is called hysteresis loss
Losses in DC Machines
➢ These losses occur in armature core due to magnetic field reversal in the armature core when it passes under the
successive magnetic poles of different polarity
2. Iron (Core) losses
(a) Hysteresis Loss
▪ The frequency of the magnetic reversal can be found by the
following mathematical expression.
𝒇 =
𝑷. 𝒏
𝟔𝟎
𝒇 = 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒍
𝑷 = 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒓𝒔
𝒏 = 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒆𝒅
▪ The hysteresis loss depends on the B-H
curve of the armature core material
▪ The area trapped in the hysteresis loop
represent the hysteresis losses
Losses in DC Machines
➢ The hysteresis loss in the DC machine can be calculated using the Steinmetz formula.
2. Iron (Core) losses
(a) Hysteresis Loss
➢ 𝑷𝒉𝒚𝒔 = 𝑲𝒉𝒇 𝑩𝒎𝒂𝒙
𝟏.𝟔
𝑲𝒉: is a hystersis loss constant which depends upon the volume and quality of the
armature core material
𝑭: Frequency of magnetic reversal
𝑩𝒎 : maximum value of flux density in wb/m2
➢ The hysteresis loss in dc machines can be reduced by making the
armature core of such materials that less area of hysteresis loop
like silicon steel.
Less hysteresis loss
Losses in DC Machines
➢ When the armature core of a DC machine rotates in the magnetic field of the poles,
an emf is induced in the core itself according to Faraday’s Law
2. Iron (Core) losses
(b) Eddy current Loss
➢ Since the armature core is a conducting material, these EMFs circulate currents
within the body of the core itself.
➢ These circulating currents are called Eddy Currents which cause heating of the
transformer core
Losses in DC Machines
➢ The eddy current loss can be calculated by following mathematical expression.
2. Iron (Core) losses
(b) Eddy current Loss
➢ 𝑷𝒆𝒅𝒅𝒚 = 𝑲𝒆𝒇𝟐𝑩𝒎
𝟐
𝒕𝟐
𝑲𝒆: coefficient of eddy current. Its value depends upon the nature of armature core material like volume
and resistivity of core material
𝑭: Frequency of magnetic reversal
𝑩𝒎 : maximum value of flux density in wb/m2
𝒕: thickness of armature core lamination in meters
➢ The magnitude of the eddy currents can be reduced by splitting the solid armature
core into thin sheets called laminations, in the plane parallel to the magnetic field.
Losses in DC Machines
➢ The power losses due to friction and windage losses
3. Mechanical losses
➢ The losses that take place because of the mechanical effects due to the rotation of armature core of DC machines
▪ Windage losses are the losses occurring in the moving parts of the machine
and the air present in the machine
▪ Friction losses are the losses occurring due to the friction between the
rotating armature core and bearings
➢ The mechanical losses depend upon the speed of the machine. But these losses
are practically constant for a given speed.
Iron or core losses and mechanical losses together are
known as stray losses.
Losses in DC Machines
➢ In DC machines, we may group the previous discussed losses in the following two categories:
Constant and Variable Losses
1. Constant losses (Wc) 2. Variable losses
▪ These losses remain constant even if the load
changes (independent on load variations )
▪ Theses losses are variable with load variations
▪ These losses are:

𝟐. 𝑴𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 (𝑷𝒎𝒆𝒄𝒉)

Generator efficiency and regulation
❑ Generator voltage regulation
➢ Another important performance characteristics of the DC generator
is the change in the load voltage from no load to any load
➢ Voltage regulation is used to figure out this change

Condition for Maximum Efficiency
➢ The efficiency of a DC generator is not constant but changes with the change in load.
▪ Let, for a shunt generator
➢ So, we need to find the loading condition at which maximum efficiency occurs
𝑰𝑳 = 𝑳𝒐𝒂𝒅 𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑽 = 𝑳𝒐𝒂𝒅 𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆
▪ Then, the output power of the DC generator is given by 𝑷𝒐𝒖𝒕 = 𝑽𝑰𝑳

Mechanical losses ➢ The losses that take place because of the mechanical effects due to the rotation of armature core of DC machines ▪ Windage losses are the losses occurring in the moving parts of the machine and the air present in the machine ▪ Friction losses are the losses occurring due to the friction between the rotating armature core and bearings ➢ The mechanical losses depend upon the speed of the machine.
