| 26.5.36. SEPARATION OF HYSTERESIS AND EDDY CURRENT LOSSES Let 1000 R.P.M. be the unit of speed so that a speed of S means S x 1000 R.P.M. Then on the assumption that the combined hysteresis and eddy current loss is W = AS + BS {A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} 2 where A represents the hysteresis loss constant and B the eddy current loss constant (which assumption transpires to be reasonably true) we find for the standard machine tested the approved average values - A = 34.6 B = 18.3 and for the N.B. machine A = 20.8 B = 11.4 Similarly for the N.B. machine with finer armature plates A = 20.4 B = 7.6 Thus Standard W = 34.6 S + 18.3 S2 N.B. W = 20.8 S + 11.4 S2 N.B. with finer armature plates. W = 20.4 S + 7.6 S2 EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
