why the generator efficiency is greator than motor?..

Answer / natha

efficiency =o/p divided by i/p and i/p-losses=o/p for any machine

in generator efficiency(n) is
n=o/p divide i/p=o/p divide op+losses

for motor
n=(ip-losses) divide i/p
by simple maths first quantity is greater
consider same machine acts as both gen n motor having losses 5 units
generator(suppose op is 10) n=10/10+5=.66666
motor(suppose ip is 10units) n=10-5/10=.5

why the generator efficiency is greator than motor?..

Answer / ayid

for generator,, no slip detected because the speed of gen.
equals to the synchrounus speed... but motor speed always
less than synchronus speed & the diffrance is the slip which
reduce motor efficiency

why the generator efficiency is greator than motor?..

Answer / princealekota

generator is a machine which converts mechanical energy to
electrical it is having only iron and cu losses. and the
rating of generator is also given in KVA.

motor is the machine which converts electrical energy to
mechanical in its output there are many loses like
frictional losses, rotational losses, Power losses,
Magnetic core losses,windage losses, and Stray load losses.
including the above losses occur in generator. and the load
here is resistive the rating of the motor is given in KW.

since efficiency is the ratio of o/p to i/p

i/p is o/p - losses

since the losses in motor are more the efficiency is less
in motor compared to generator
