A dc generator is rated at 16 kW,250 V16 \mathrm{~kW}, 250 \mathrm{~V}, and 56 A56 \mathrm{~A} when it rotates at 1200rpm1200 \mathrm{rpm}. The resistance of the armature windings is 0.40 Ω0.40~ \Omega. Calculate the "no-load" voltage at 1200 rpm1200 \mathrm{~rpm} (when there is no circuit hooked up to the generator).

We are given a dc generator,

  • P=16  kWP= 16\;\mathrm{kW}: is the power at which the generator is rated.

  • V=250  VV= 250\;\mathrm{V}: is the operating voltage of the generator.

  • I=56  AI= 56\;\mathrm{A} is the operating current rated for the generator.

  • ω=1200  rpm\omega= 1200\;\mathrm{rpm}: is the angular frequency when the generator works at its rated values.

  • R=0.4  ΩR= 0.4\;\mathrm{\Omega}: is the resistance of the generator armature.

We are required to calculate, the no-load voltage ϵo\epsilon_o (when there is no load or circuit connected to the generator).
