Q4. Solution

150
Load resistance, RL = = 0.83Ω
180
E1 = 150 + (180 × 0.06) + 2 = 162.8V
1200
At 1200 rpm, E2 = 162.8 × = 139V
1400
If Ia is the new current, E2 − 2 − (Ia × 0.06) = RL Ia
139 − 2 − (Ia × 0.06) = 0.83Ia
Ia = 153.9A

Q5. Solution

Ia = 20A
De-magnetizing ampere turns per pole = 1.2 × 20 = 24
No. of field turns, Nf = 200
24
Equivalent field amperes for the de-magnetizing ampere turns if _eq = = 0.12A
200
No. load terminal voltage = 113.5V
The corresponding field current,If = 1.75A
The effective field current taking into account the de-magnetizing effect, if _net = 1.75 − 0.12 = 1.63A
From the table, the corresponding E = 111.7V
Hence, the terminal voltage, Vt = 111.7 − Ia Ra − Ebrush
Vt = 111.7 − (20 × 0.4) − 2 = 101.7V

Q6. Solution

Total armature current = 143 + 10A

Q7. Solution

100 × 1000
While running as generator, load current, Ilg = = 455A
220
Field current Ish = 22/60 = 3.7A
∴ Armature current Ia1 = Ilg + Ish = 458.7A
Generated voltage Eg = 220 + Ia1 Ra + brush drop
= 220 + 458.7 × 0.025 + 1 × 2 = 233.5V
10 × 1000
While running as motor, load current, Ilm = = 45.5A
220
∴ Armature current Ia2 = Ilm − Ish = 41.8A
Back EMF Eb = 220 − Ia2 Ra − brush Drop
= 220 − 41.8 × 0.025 − 2 = 217V
For a shunt generator Speed ’N’ ∝ Eb orEg
300 × 217
∴ The required speed is = = 279 rpm
233.5

Q8. Solution

Armature resistance drop Ia Ra = Eg − V

= 127 − 120 = 7V
=⇒ Ia = 7/Ra = 7/0.02 = 350A
The shunt field current = 120/15 = 8A
∴ Load current Il = 350 − 8 = 342 A

Q9. Solution

500 × 1000
Load current I1 while delivering 500kW = = 1000A
500
250 × 1000
Load current I2 while delivering 250kW = = 500A
500
Generated voltage while delivering 1000A = Eg 1 = 500 + 1000 × 0.015 = 515V
Generated voltage while delivering 500A = Eg 2 = 500 + 500 × 0.015 = 507.5V
Speed ’N’ ∝ Eg /φ
But here the flux is constant and therefore, Speed ∝ Eg
N2 Eg1
=⇒ =
N1 Eg2
N1 − N2 Eg2 − Eg1
∴ Percentage reduction in speed = × 100 = × 100
N1 Eg2
515 − 507.5
= × 100 = 1.45%
515

Q10. Solution

60 × 40
Load current = = 24A
100
Shunt field current = 100/50 = 2A
Armature current = 24 + 2 = 26A
26
∴ Current in each conductor = = 6.5A
