Losses are measured separately in this method, and efficiency at any desired load is predetermined. The iron and friction losses can be determined by measuring the input to the machine at no-load. The machine is run as a motor at normal voltage and speed. The copper losses are calculated from measured values of the various resistances. This method is only applicable to level compounded and shunt motors. Figure 5.29shows the circuit diagram of Swinburne's test.

Figure 5.29 Swinburne's Test

Let Vt be the supply voltage, I0 be the input armature current at no-load(measured by ammeter A1) andIsh be the shunt field current(measured by ammeter A2) for Figure 5.29.

Therefore, no-load armature current (Ia0) = I0 - Ish, no-load input = VtI0 W, power input to the armature = Vt (I0 - Ish) W and power input to shunt = VtIsh W.
