Question

Please help me with my last three assignments. This is my last ask an expert, please. 

1. The armature of a shunt generator has 0.08-ohm
effective resistance. Each brush has an effective
resistance of 0.02 ohm. The terminal voltage is 120 V
while the current is 60 A. What is its efficiency?
2. A 20 kW, 230 V, shunt generator was run light as
motor to determine its stray power losses at rated
load. The applied voltage across the armature,
computed for test was 260 V and the armature
current drawn is 3 A. The armature and shunt field
resistance are 0.30 and 100 ohms, respectively.
Calculate the generator efficiency at half-load.
Assume stray power losses to be constant.
3. A shunt generator supplies 120 A at 220 V. The
armature and shunt resistances are 0.030 ohms and
100 ohms, respectively. If the copper losses are equal
to the iron losses at this load, find the brake
horsepower of the engine driving the generator.
