    The document describes an experiment to determine the efficiencies of two identical DC shunt machines coupled back-to-back operating as a motor and generator. The nameplate details and experimental readings measuring voltage, current, speed, output power and efficiency at various loads are presented in tables. The aim is to run the machines as a system and calculate their individual efficiencies.
