Review Questions

A 240-V DC shunt DC motor has an armature resistance of 0.25


and a field resistance of 120 . At full load the armature draws a
current of 40 A and the speed is 1100 rpm.
(i) Find the developed torque
(ii) The field rheostat is adjusted so that the field resistance is 150
. Find the new operating speed if the torque and the armature
current remain constant.

The armature current remains the same. This means that the generated emf is the
same for the two operating conditions

Compute the efficiency of 100 kW, 250-V, 6-pole, 1000 rpm long shunt compound
generator. The generator has the following parameters
Armature resistance Ra = 0.015
Series field resistance Rs = 0.010
Shunt field resistance Rf = 100.0
Total rotational losses = 4000 W
Assume a stray losses to be 1% of the output and a brush drop of 2 volts.
Total resistance in armature circuit (RA) = Ra+Rs = 0.015+0.010= 0.025

A 220 V d.c series motor has armature and field resistances of 0.15
and 0.10
respectively. It takes a current of 30 A from the supply while running
at 1000 rpm. If an
external resistance of 1 is inserted in series with the motor,
calculate the new steady
state armature current and the speed. Assume the load torque
remains constant.

Since the load torque remains constant in both the cases, we have:

An AC motor has an internal resistance of .


When powered by a 50 Hz AC
supply of peak voltage V=120V it draws a peak current of I=5 A .
What is the peak back-emf produced by the motor?
What is the peak power delivered to the motor by the AC supply?
What is the peak rate of energy loss as heat in the motor? What is the peak useful
power produced by the motor?
What is the efficiency (i.e., the ratio of the peak useful power output to the peak
power delivered) of such a motor?
Answer: If is the peak applied voltage, and the peak back-emf, then the peak
applied voltage must equal the sum of the peak voltage drops across the motor.

The peak power delivered by the AC supply is

Energy is lost as heat in the motor at the peak rate

The peak useful power produced by the motor is the difference between the peak
power supplied to the motor and the peak power dissipated as heat:

The peak useful power is also given by the product of the peak back-emf and the peak
current flowing through the motor

The efficiency is the ratio of the peak useful power output of the motor to the peak
power supplied, or

A simple AC generator consists of an N=10 turns coil of area A=1200


cm2 which rotates at a constant frequency of f=60 Hz in a B=0.4T magnetic
field. What is the peak emf of the device

Determine the synchronous speed of a four pole AC motor connected to a


60-Hz electrical supply.

N = 120 f/P = 120 60 /4 = 1,800 rpm
