1. A 220 V, 500 A, 600 rpm separately excited motor has armature and field resistance of
0.02 and 10 respectively. The load torque is given the expression
TL = 2000 2N,
where N is the speed in rpm. Speeds below the rated are obtained by armature voltage
control and speeds above the rated are obtained by field control.
i) Calculate motor terminal voltage and armature current when the speed is 450 rpm.
ii) Calculate field winding voltage and armature current when the speed is 750 rpm.
Assume the rated field voltage is the same as the rated armature voltage.
V =220V , Ia1 = 500 A, N1 = 600 rpm, Ra = 0.02 ohm, Rf = 10 ohm,
TL = 2000 _ 2N Nm ( separately excited motor)
(i) V =? Ia2 = ? (450 rpm)
T2 = 2000_ 2 (450) = 1100 Nm
E1 = V _ Ia1 Ra = 220 _ 500 (0.02) = 210 V
T1 = P / Wm = (Ea1 Ia1) / Wm
= 210 x 500 / ( 600 x 2 / 60)
= 1671 Nm
T2 / T1 = Ia2 / Ia1
Ia2 = (T2 / T1) x Ia1 = (1100 / 1671 ) x 210 = 138.24 A
E2= V _ Ia2 Ra = 220 _ (138.24 x 0.02) = 217.2 V
600 rpm --------------E = 217.2 V
450 rpm --------------E = ?
E= (450 / 600) x 217.2 = 163 V
V = 163 + (138.24 x 0.02) = 165.8 V
(ii) Vf = ?, Ia2= ?, N = 750 rpm
T2 = 2000_ 2 (750) = 500 Nm
T2 = T2
Ke Ia2 = 500
Ke =(500) / Ia2
V = E2 + Ia2 Ra
220 = Ke N2 (2 /60) + 0.02Ia2
220 =(500 / Ia2 ) x 750 x (2 /60) + 0.02Ia2
0 = 0.02I2a2 _ 220Ia2 + 39270
Ia2 = 10818.5 A (or) 181.5 A
Ke 1 = E1 / Wm1 = 210 / (600 x 2 /60) = 3.342
Ke 2 = 500 / Ia2 = 2.75
Ke 1 = 3.342-------------Vf = 220 V
Ke 2 =2.75--------------- Vf =?
