The table below gives the average results, together with the temperature of the field winding as deduced from its resistance. It was found that lifting the negative brush, had no effect on the results. | Speed rpm | Main volts | Field volts | Field amps | Field ohms | Field temp'r oC | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 725 | 15.2 | 10.0 | 2.8 | 3.57 | 114.0 | | 960 | 23.0 | 15.3 | 4.1 | 3.73 | 129.2 | | 1035 | 26.5 | 17.5 | 4.65 | 3.76 | 132.5 | | 1325 | 37.0 | 24.3 | 6.3 | 3.86 | 140.0 | | 1540 | 45.5 | 30.0 | 7.7 | 3.9 | 146.0 | | 1810 | 55.5 | 36.5 | 9.2 | 3.97 | 153.0 | | 2000 | 63.0 | 41.0 | 10.3 | 3.98 | 154.0 | (cont'd) Signed_________________ This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
