Q.5 A 250 V, 10 kW, 8 pole DC generator has single turn coils. The armature is wave-wound with 90
commutator segments. If the brushes are shifted by 2 commutator segments at full-load, calculate(i)
total armature reaction ampere-turns (ii) demagnetising ampere-turns and (iii) cross-magnetising
ampere-turns.
Q.6 A 240 V DC shunt motor has a field resistance of 400 ohm and an armature resistance of 0.1 ohm.
The armature current is 50 A and the speed is 1000 rpm Calculate the additional resistance in the field
to increase the speed to 1200 rpm Assume that armature current remains the same and the
magnetisation curve to be a straight line
Q.7 A 200 V shunt motor has Ra = 0.1 ohm, Rf = 240 ohm and rotational loss = 236 W. On full load
the line current is 9.8 A with the motor running at 1450 rpm. Determine
(a) the mechanical power developed
(b) the power output
(c) the load torque (d) the full load efficiency
Q.8 A fan motor whose torque is proportional to the square of the speed is driven by a separately
excited DC motor. The motor draws a current of 8 A at 120 V and runs at a speed of 500 rpm. What
voltage and current is to be applied to run the motor at 750 rpm. The armature resistance of the motor
is 1 ohm and losses are neglected
Q.9 A 250 V shunt motor has an armature current of 20 A when running at 1000 rpm against full load
torque. The armature resistance is 0.5 Ω. What resistance must be inserted in series with the armature
to reduce the speed to 800 rpm at the same torque, and what will be the speed if the load torque is
halved with this resistance in the circuit. Assume the flux to remain constant throughout and neglect
brush contact drop
Q.10 The armature of a four-pole DC shunt generator has 378 wave connected conductors. The
armature and shunt winding resistance of the generator is 1 ohm and 100 ohm respectively. The flux
per pole is 0.02 Wb. If a load resistance of 10 ohm is connected across the armature terminals and the
generator is driven at 1000 rpm, calculate the power absorbed by the load.
