900-|-220=10,120 watts. Ignoring line losses. 1404 Steam Engineering the generator works at 220 volts^ and in order to deliver10,120 watts it must deliver 10,120^220=46 amperes.Since the lamps in the positive division (A) require 60 am-peres, the armature A working as a dynamo must supply60—46=14… … Fig. 665 The exact figures in practice would not be those herestated because the line losses, the current in the field wind-ings of the compensator, and the losses in their armaturewindings affect the current distribution. The principle,of course, is not affected; the machine on the lightly…
