A 50-kW, 250 V, 1200 rpm dc shunt motor when tested on no-load at 250 V draw an armature current of 13.2 A, while its speed is 1215 rpm. Upon conducting other tests it is found that R_{a} = 0.06 \Omega and R_{f} = 50 \Omega while V_{b} (brush voltage drop) = 2 V.
Calculate the motor efficiency at a shaft load of 50 kW at rated voltage with a speed of 1195 rpm. Assume that the stray load loss is 1% of the output.
What would be the load for the motor to have maximum efficiency and what would be its value?
