A DC shunt generator has a full load output of 10kW at a terminal voltage of 240V. The armature and the shunt field winding resistances are 0.6 and 160 ohms respectively. The sum of the mechanical and core-losses is 500W. calculate the power required in kW at the driving shaft at full-load, and the corresponding efficiency and voltage regulation.
