A $$50$$ $$kW$$ synchronous motor is tested by driving it by another motor. When the excitation is not switched on, the driving motor takes $$800$$ $$W.$$ When the armature is short-circuited and the rated armature current of $$10$$ $$A$$ is passed through it, the driving motor requires $$2500$$ $$W.$$ On open-circuiting the armature with rated excitation, the driving motor takes $$1800$$ $$W.$$ Calculate the efficiency of the synchronous motor at $$50\% $$ load. Neglect the losses in the driving motor.

Two identical synchronous generators, each of $$100$$ $$MVA,$$ are working in parallel supplying $$100$$ $$MVA$$ at $$0.8$$ lagging $$p.f.$$ at rated voltage. Initially the machines are sharing load equally. If the field current of first generator is reduced by $$5\% $$ and of the second generator increased by $$5\% ,$$ find the sharing of load ($$MW$$ and $$MVAR$$) between the generators.
Assume$${X_d} = {X_q} = 0.8\,\,p.u.$$ no field saturation and rated voltage across load. Reasonable approximations may be made.

In a $$dc$$ motor running at $$2000$$ $$rpm,$$ the hysteresis and eddy current losses are $$500$$ $$W$$ and $$200$$ $$W$$ respectively. If the flux remains constant, calculate the speed at which the total iron losses are halved.
