Fig.1. The drive configuration


1. A motor with inertia J1 drives 3 loads. Two of them are rotational and one of them are
translational. All the loads are connected with the drive shafts with weightless and lossless
gears. The details of the drive and loads are given below.
Drive: Inertia: Jm= 3Kg-Metre^2 ,
md=400+0.33w, md=developed torque of the motor (N-m)
w= rotational speed of the drive (rad/sec)
Load1: A mass M1 (M1=400kg.) is pulled by a winch drum of radius r1 (r1=0.1metre) and
moment of inertia J1(J1=4kg-m^2). The weight and radius of the rope can be neglected.
Assume acceleration due to gravity (g)=10m/sec^2.
The winch drum rotates with speed w1.
The ratio between the angular velocity of the winch drum and drive is: (w1:w=1:2).
Load2: ml2= 1500+w, ml2=Load torque of mass with inertia J2(N-m).
w2= rotational speed of the load2 (rad/sec).
J2= 100kg-m^2
The ratio between the angular velocity of the winch drum and drive is: (w2:w=1:5).
Load3: ml3= -2000+3*w,
ml3=Load torque of mass with inertia J3(N-m).
w3= rotational speed of the load3 (rad/sec).
J3= 100kg-m^2
The ratio between the angular velocity of the winch drum and drive is: (w3:w=1:10).
a) Find the equivalent moment of inertia of the total system in the driving motor reference
frame (w). (Marks:3)
b) Write the equivalent dynamic equation of the total system with respect to the driving
motor reference frame (w). (Marks:1)
c) Find the steady state operating point of the drive. What will be the angular speed of the
drive motor (w), Load 2(w2),Load3(w3). And linear velocity of the load 1(v1). (Marks:2)
d) How much time will it take for the drive to reach the steady state speed?( You can assume
95% of the final speed as the steady state speed). (Marks:2)
e) Is this is a stable operating point? Validate analytically and graphically. (Marks:2)

f)

After reaching to the steady state speed Load 3 needs to be completely disengaged from
the total system due to the failure in the load. The operator disengaged load 3 from the
total system from the gear box. What will be the steady state operating point of the drive
after disengaging the load 3? (Marks:1)
g) After reaching the steady state speed, it was observed that drive sometime starts running
to dangerously high speed. What is the reason behind that? (Marks:1)
h) To overcome the above mentioned problem, the supervisor appointed an engineer to solve
the issue. The issue stated to the newly appointed engineer is as follows:
The drive operates stably when all the 3 loads are engaged. But if load 3 is disengaged
from the system, the drive sometime starts running at a very high speed and the operator
has to stop the drive. The engineer studied the complete drive and suggested to the
supervisor to additionally connect another drive along with the existing drive with inertia
Jm. The suggested drive is shown in figure 2. After connecting the new drive with load
torque (md2) and inertia Jm2 (Jm2=1Kg-m^2) the steady state operating point of the total
drive remains same as earlier with all the load engaged with the drive train (question c).
Also the total drive does not run at a very high speed if load 3 is disengaged. Also the no
load speed of the drive motors together is 900 rad/sec. The resultant speed torque
characteristics of the total drive (md+md2) vary linearly with speed. What is the speed
torque characteristic of the combined drive(mdc=md+md2)? (Marks:2)
What is the speed torque equation of the drive with inertia Jm2? (Marks:2)

Fig.2. Modified drive configuration


i) How much time takes by the new drive to reach the steady state speed? (Marks:2)
j) What is the starting torque of the new drive(Mdstart)? (Marks:1)
k) It was observed that the starting torque of the drive is very high and is not good for the
life of the drive. Therefore it was decided that the total system will start only by drive
motor with inertia Jm with load torque md. During the starting Jm also engaged with the
drive train along with all the loads. md2 will be delivered in the drive train, when the
combined torque will be half of the starting torque of the combined drive (Mdstart). In
this method of starting how much time will be taken by the drive to reach the steady state
speed? Show the speed torque characteristics graphically. (Marks:3)

2. A 230V, 960 r.p.m. and 200A dc separately excited motor has an armature resistance of
0.02Ohm. 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 the
speed range in which motor can hold the load by regenerative braking without exceeding
twice the rated motor current. (Marks:4)
3. A 220 V, 200 A,750 r.p.m. separately excited motor has an armature resistance of 0.05 ohm.
It is driving a load whose torque has an expression md=(500-0.25 N) N-m, where N is speed
in r.p.m. 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).
Calculate motor terminal voltage and armature current when the speed is 400 rpm.
i)
ii)
Calculate value of flux as a percent of rated flux when the speed is 1500 rpm.
(Marks:4)
4. A 230V, 960 r.p.m. and 200A dc separately excited motor has an armature resistance of
0.02Ohm is running at rated speed and full torque. In this operating condition motor is applied
dynamic braking by connecting external series resistance. The load torque remained constant
at all operating speed (either positive or negative).
a) Find the external series resistance required such that the instantaneous regenerative torque
developed in the machine becomes twice the rated torque. (Marks:2)
b) When the developed torque magnitude reduced to rated torque from the double the rated
torque (during application of regenerative brake), the braking resistance is reduced such a
way that again the developed torque become double the rated torque (as previous). Find
what is the new external resistance? At what time the new resistance is applied?
(Marks:4)
c) Find the total time taken by the drive to come to zero speed from the rated speed?
(Marks:2)
d) Find the power loss in the brake resistance. (Marks:2)
5. Repeat the problem 4. with plugging. The voltage applied during plugging is -230Volt.
