where;
Ep = back emf per phase (volt)
Vp = supply voltage per phase (volt)
PREPARED B Y : ENGR. JOYZEL Z GUTIERREZ, Ip = motor current per phase (ampere)
REE/RME
Ra = armature resistance per phase (ohm)
Xs = synchronous reactance per phase (ohm)
+ (sign) = if motor is operating at a leading pf
- (sign) = if motor is operating at a lagging pf
δ = angle between Ep and Vp (torque angle)

where;
Note: The power input of the rotor (power losses in the
cosθ = operating power factor
exciter) will be taken into consideration only when the
Pcu = stator copper losses
overall efficiency of the machine is to be determined,
Pf = field copper losses or exciter losses
otherwise it is negligible
P fw = friction and windage losses
Pcore = core losses where;
Pstray = stray power or rotational losses Pd = power developed in the armature
P shaft = output power in the shaft Pout = power output
Pstator = input power of the stator
Protor = input power of the rotos (equal to field copper losses)
