Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 1

A short shunt compound wound motor is having series field resistance, armature resistance and shunt field resistance of 0.6 Ω, 0.4 Ω and 250 Ω respectively. If the motor is drawing 50 A at 500 V, what the voltage drop across series field resistance?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 1

Short shunt motor be like

Voltage drop across series field resistance
= 50 × 0.6
= 30 V

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 2

A DC shunt motor of 200 V, 10.5 A, 2000 rpm has an armature resistance of 0.5 Ω and field resistance of 400 Ω. It drives a load whose torque is constant at rated motor torque. What is the value of armature current if the source voltage drops to 175 V?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 2

Given V1 = 200 V
Armature resistance (Ra) = 0.5 Ω
Field winding resistance (Rsh) = 400 Ω
Field current = 200/400 = 0.5 A
Load current = 10.5 A
Armature current = 10.5 – 0.5 = 10 A
Given that load torque is constant.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 4

A long shunt compound wound motor is having shunt field resistance, series field resistance and armature resistance of 300 Ω, 0.8 Ω and 0.6 Ω respectively. If the motor is drawings 60 A at 500 V, what is the voltage drop across series field resistance?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 4

Long shunt motor circuit is given as

Current through shunt field = 500/300 = 1.67 A 
∴ Armature current Ia = 58.33A
Voltage across series field resistance

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 5

A 220 V DC shunt motor takes 3 A at no-load. It draws 25 A when running at full-load at 1500 rpm. The armature and shunt resistances are 0.5 Ω and 220 Ω, respectively. The no- load speed in rpm (round off to two decimal places) is ________.


Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 5

Voltage (V) = 220 V
No load current (INL) = 3 A
Full load current (IFL) = 25 A
Full load speed (NFL) = 1500 rpm
Armature resistance (Ra) = 0.5 Ω
Shunt resistance (Rsh) = 220 Ω

Armature current (Ia) = IL - Ish
When motor is operating at no load
IanL = INL - Ish = 3 – 1 = 2 A
Eb1 = V - IanL Ra
= 220 – (2) (0.5) = 219 V
When motor is operating at full load
IaFL = IFL - Ish = 25 – 1 = 24 A
Eb2 = V – IaFL Ra
= 220 – (24) (0.5) = 208 V
We know that, in a DC shunt motor
Eb α N

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 6

A 600 V series motor of resistance 1 Ω runs at 800 rpm when the current is 60 A. If an identical motor is mechanically coupled and joined in series, what will be the current (in A) when the set runs at 400 rpm and exerts twice the original gross torque?


Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 6

Eb1 = V − IaRa = 600 − 1 × 60 = 540
Let the current when joined in in series = Ia2 
The resistance = 2 × 1 = 2 Ω

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 7

A 250-V DC shunt motor has a shunt field resistance of 150 Ω and an armature resistance of 0.3 Ω. For a given load. The motor runs at 1400 rpm, and drawing 20 A current. If a resistance of 75 Ω is added in series with the field, find the new armature current (in A). Assume load torque and flux and constant.


Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 7

The field current corresponds to:

Now:
IA = IL - If = 20 – 1.66 = 18.34 Amps
Observe that the current of the field circuit is much smaller than the armature current. Thus, adding the speed control resistance leads to minor power dissipation.

Ea = VS – IaRa = 250 – 5.502 = 244.5 V

EA = K ϕ ω

The new armature current corresponds to:
Ia = I– If = 20 – 1.11 = 18.89 Amps

A separately excited DC generator, when running at 1200 rpm supplies 200 A at 125 V to a circuit of constant resistant what will be the current (in amp) when the speed is dropped to 1000 rpm and the field is reduced to 80%. Armature resistance is 0.04 Ω and total drop at brushes is 2V.


Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 8

Eg1 = VL + IaRa + 2 = 125 + (0.04 × 200) + 2 = 135 V

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 9

A 440 V DC shunt motor is running at 1000 RPM at full load torque, reduced armature voltage and full field. If load torque is reduced to 50% of rated value with armature voltage and field voltage held constant at previous value, the speed increase 1050 rpm. Find armature voltage drop (in V) at full load. Neglect effect of armature reaction. [Take no load speed 1000 rpm]


Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 9

Ea1 = (440 – Ia1ra)
Ea1 = k ϕ1 ω1
Motor torque T1 = kaϕ1Ia1

As field voltage held constant ϕ2 = ϕ1

440 × 21 – 21 Ia1r = 440 × 20 – 10 Ia1ra

∴ Armature voltage drop Ia1ra = 440/11 = 40 V

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 10

A 400 V dc shunt motor takes a current of 6.2 A on no load and 70.4 A on full - load. Armature reaction weakens the field by 4%. Calculate the ratio of full-load speed to no-load speed. Given Ra = 0.20 Ω, Brush voltage drop = 2 V, Rf = 200 Ω.


Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 10

Field current If  = 400/200 = 2 A
No-load
Iao = 6.2 – 2 = 4.2 A
Eao = 400 – 0.20 × 4.2 – 2 = 397.16 V
