why the generator efficiency is greator than motor?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
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

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

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

Answer / gunasekaran
for generator i/p is not constant it is varriable but for
motor input power is constant.

We have 250 KW x 2 motors, which are load from 25% to 100% varying load in every minute , so how can we compansate the power factor. pl give your opinions on the above subject.
A separately excited dc motor having 2 ohm armature resistsance draws a current of 10A and torque developed is 20 Nm under rated field condtion. the speed of the motor under the rated field condtion , when it is connected to a 100V DC source and delivering 10Nm torque....
induction motor. we have a three phase supply from diffrent source like R= transformer. Y = DG sets. B = ups. if motor is runing.
