Question: Load test data obtained from a ( 1 2 0 mathrm { ~V } , 1 . 2 mathrm { ~kW }

Load test data obtained from a \(120\mathrm{~V},1.2\mathrm{~kW},1800\mathrm{rpm}\) separately excited DC generator is given below.
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline Torque input (Nm) & Speed input (rpm) & \begin{tabular}{l}
Load voltage output \\
(V)
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l}
Load current output \\
(A)
\end{tabular}\\
\hline 1 & 1800 & 130 & 0\\
\hline 2 & 1800 & 128 & 3\\
\hline 4 & 1800 & 125 & 5\\
\hline 6 & 1800 & 122 & 8\\
\hline 8 & 1800 & 120 & 10\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Given this data, find the following:
a) The efficiency of the generator at rated condition
b) Voltage regulation of the DC generator.
c) The armature resistance of the generator is Assuming that the excitation is constant.
d) if the speed input is reduced to 1000 rpm , how does this change the no-load voltage?
e) When the generator is operating at its rated condition, if the excitation current is reduced, what happens to load current and generator speed?
