THEORY:
When a machine is loaded, the load current establishes an M.M.F which appreciably changes the space distribution of air
gap flux density wave. This leads to an increase in the core loss from no load to full load. This increment in core loss caused by
distortion of the air gap flux plus the increment in (i2r) loss due to non-uniform distribution of conductor current is called stray load
loss. In other words, stray load loss consists of two components, one originating in iron parts and other in the armature conductors.
In iron parts, the stray load loss consists of the eddy current loss in the stator frame, end covers etc., caused by the armature leakage
flux load under load and the increased teeth loss due to distortion of the flux density wave. In the conductors, the stray load loss is
due to the circulating currents set up in the conductors by the alternating leakage flux produced by load current. These circulating
currents make the conductor current distribution non uniform and a result effective resistance of conductor increases. This gives
rise to additional conductor loss, called stray load loss. These losses are cannot be determined accurately. In dc machines by
convention, it is taken as 1% of the rated output for rating above 150kw. For synchronous and induction machines, it is taken as
0.5% of their rated output.

PROCEDURE:
1. Make the connection are given as per ckt diagram
2. Apply 220 v, dc supply to the motor by closing DPST switch
3. Motor is started with the help of 3 –point starter with no –load.
4. Check the speed of the motor by using tachometer and motor made to run at rated speed
by adjusting armature rheostat and field rheostat
5. The field current is adjusted to desired value, i.e,.0.7amps at no-load the readings of
voltmeter, ammeter and speed are noted down at given field current.
6. By varying armature rheostat in steps and note down V, A, and N at 0.7 amps
7. The armature rheostat brings to initial position (max)and respect the same procedure at
another field current i.e, 0.9 amps by adjusting field rheostat
8. Bring all the rheostats to their original position and open the DPST switch.
9. Now measure armature resistance from the drop test.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Motor field rheostat must be kept in minimum resistance position.
2. Starter arm must be in OFF position.
3. Connections should be tight and reading should be without any parallax error.

RESULT:
Hence, the stray losses in dc shunt machine and separation of the different losses are
determined.
