Ω. Motor is driving under rated conditions, a load whose torque is same at all
speeds. Calculate motor speed if the source voltage drops to 200 V.
2) A dc shunt motor is running at 500 rpm, driving a load whose torque is same at all
speeds. Armature current is 90 A. The armature resistance drop can be neglected
and field circuit can be assumed to be linear. If source voltage is reduced to 80%
calculate motor speed and armature current.
3) A 230 V, 750 rpm, 25 A dc series motor is driving at rated conditions a load, whose
torque is proportional to speed squared. The combined resistance of armature and
field is 1 Ω. Calculate the motor terminal voltage and current for a speed of 400 rpm.
State the assumption made for solving problem.
4) A 230 V, 870 rpm, 100 A separately excited dc motor has an armature resistance of
0.05 Ω. It is coupled to an overhauling load with a torque of 400 N-m. Determine the
speed at which motor can hold the load by regenerative braking.
5) A 230 V, 960 rpm and 200 A dc separately excited motor has an armature resistance
of 0.02 Ω. It is driving an overhauling load whose torque may vary from zero to rated
motor torque. Field flux can be changed and field saturates at 1.2 times the rated flux.
Calculate speed range in which motor can hold the load by regenerative braking
without exceeding twice the rated motor current.
6) i) A 220 V, 100 A, dc series motor has armature and field resistances of 0.04 and 0.06
Ω respectively. Running on test on no load as a separately excited generator at 1000
rpm it gave following results:
ii) Calculate the speed when dc series motor of question i) is holding an overhauling load
torque of 250 N-m with a braking resistance of 1 Ω.
7) A 220 V. 200 A, 750 rpm separately excited dc motor has an armature resistance of
0.05 Ω. It is driving a load whose torque has an expression TL = 500 -0.25*N N-m,
where N is the speed in rpm. Speeds below rated are obtained by armature voltage
control (with full field) and speeds above rated are obtained by field control (with
rated armature voltage).
i) Calculate motor terminal voltage and armature current when the speed is 400
rpm.
ii) Calculate value of flux as a percent of rated flux when the speed is 1500 rpm.
8) A 230 V, 1000 rpm, 105 A separately excited dc motor has an armature resistance of
0.06 Ω. Calculate the value of flux as a percent of rated flux for motor speed of 1500
rpm when load is such that the developed motor power is maintained constant at
rated value for all speeds above rated speed.
10) A 2-pole dc series motor runs at 750 rpm when taking 100 A from 220 V supply and
with field coils connected in series. Resistances of armature and each field coil are
0.06 and 0.04 Ω, respectively. Field coils are now connected in parallel. Determine
the speed when
(i) torque remains same.
(ii) output power remains same.
Neglect mechanical and core losses and assume linear magnetic circuit.
