 Assignment - 10 : Solution

Q1 & Q2. Solution

The rated line current of this motor is 80A

250
The rated armature current is Ia = IL − IF = 80 − = 77A
85
The maximum allowed starting current Ia_max = 2.5 × 77 = 192.5A
250
The total initial starting resistance, Ra + Rstart1 = = 1.29Ω
192.5
Rstart1 = 1.29 − 0.2 = 1.09Ω
The current will fall to the rated value when Ea rises to
Ea = 250 − (1.29 × 77) = 150.67V
Resistance at which the current get back to 192.5A
250 − 150.67
Ra + Rstart2 = = 0.516Ω
192.5
Rstart2 = 0.516 − 0.2 = 0.316Ω
With this resistance, the current will fall to the rated value, when Ea equals to
Ea = 250 − (77 × 0.516) = 210.268V
The resistance at which the current get back to 192.5A
250 − 210.268
Ra + Rstart3 = = 0.206Ω
192.5
Rstart3 = 0.206 − 0.2 = 0.006Ω
With this resistance in the circuit, the current will fall to rated value when Ea rises to
Ea = 250 − (0.206 × 77) = 234.138V
If the resistance is cut out, when Ea reaches 234.369V,the resulting current
250 − 234.138
Ia = = 79.31A
0.2
79.31 < 192.5
The number of stages of starting resistance : 3
Rstart1 = R1 + R2 + R3
Rstart2 = R2 + R3
Rstart3 = R3
R3 = 0.006Ω
R2 = 0.316 − 0.006 = 0.31Ω
R1 = 1.09 − 0.31 − 0.006 = 0.774Ω

Q3.Solution

440
The field current: If = = 1.91A
230
The armature current: Ia = 40 − 1.91 = 38.09A
The back emf of the motor: Eb = 440 − (38.09 × 0.4) = 424.77V
The voltage in the armature circuit, at the time of plugging = 440 + 424.77 = 864.77V
The maximum allowable armature current = 1.5 × 38.07 = 57.1A
Thus, the external resistance in the armature circuit at the instant of plugging must be
864.77
R= − 0.4 = 14.74Ω

Q5.Solution

PLoad = Ea Ia = (220 − (Ia × 0.1))Ia = 16, 000W

Ia = 2124A or 75.3A
→ Ia = 75.3A
Ea = 220 − (75.3 × 0.1) = 212.47V
220
For field rheostat at zero position, If = = 1.25A
176
From the magnetization data, for If = 1.25A at 1800 rpm, Ea = 214V

Q6.Solution

Torque (T) ∝ φIa

But flux (φ) is constant
∴ T ∝ Ia
Speed (N) ∝ Eb /φ
Again N ∝ Eb
Hence to maintain constant speed, Back emf should remain constant
, Under rated conditions Eb1 = V1 − Ia1 × Ra
= 150 − 20 × 1 = 130V
For half rated torque, current should be half rated current
=⇒ Ia2 = 20/2 = 10A
Required armature voltage V2 is
∴ V2 = 130 + 10 × 0.5 = 140V
For the buck converter output voltage V0 = dVin
∴ Duty ratio (d) = 140/220 = 0.636

Q7.Solution

R1 = Total resistance inserted at the begining = 250/I1 = 250/67 = 3.73ohm

Lower limit of current (I2 ) = (3/4)67 = 50.25A

Q8.Solution

At rated conditions, Back EMF (Eb1 )

Eb1 = 200 − Ia1 × Ra
= 200 − 150 × 0.06 = 191V
750
Speed (N) ∝ Eb (Since flux is constant) ∴ Back EMF corresponding to 750 rpm speed = × 191 = 163.714V
875
Since torque is still rated, armature current remains same
Terminal voltage at this condition (Vt ) = 163.714 + 150 × 0.06 = 172.714V
2Vm
Output voltage of fully controlled rectifier is given by V0 = cos(α)
π
, where Vm = Peak of supply voltage, α = Firing angle of converter
V0 π 172.71 × 3.14
∴ cos(α) = = √ = 0.872
2Vm 2 × 220 2
=⇒ α = cos−1 (0.872) = 29.31

Q9.Solution

Torque (T) ∝ Ia (since main field constant)

T ∝ N3
=⇒ Ia ∝ N 3
Ia2 N3
= 23
Ia1 N1
N23 5003

Ia2 40
Eb ∝ N (Flux is constant)
Eb2 N2
∴ =
Eb1 N1
N2
Eb2 = × 250 = N2 /2
500
Eb1 = 250V (since armature resistance is unknown this drop can be neglected)
Eb2 = 250 − 25 × Ia2
N2 40N23
= 250 − 25 ×
2 5003
Rearranging, we get
4N23 + 5002 N2 − 5003 = 0
Solving for N3 we get
N3 = 250rpm
