1. A 440 V, shunt motors has armature resistance of 0.8 Ω and field resistance of 200 Ω. Determine
the back e.m.f. when giving an output of 7.46 kW at 85% efficiency.

2. A DC motor takes an armature current of 110 A at 480 V. The armature circuit resistance is 0.2
Ω. The machine has a 6-poles and the armature is lap-connected with 864 conductors. The flux per pole is
0.05 Wb. Calculate (i) the speed and (ii) the gross torque developed by the armature.

3.​ A
​ 220-V d.c. shunt motor runs at 500 r.p.m. when the armature current is 50 A. Calculate the speed if
the torque is doubled. Given that Ra = 0.2 Ω.

4. ​A 500-V, 37.3 kW, 1000 r.p.m. d.c. shunt motor has on full-load an efficiency of 90 percent. The
armature circuit resistance is 0.24 Ω and there is total voltage drop of 2 V at thebrushes. The field current
is 1.8 A. Determine ​(i) ​full-load line current ​(ii) ​full load shaft torque in N-m and ​(iii) ​total resistance in
motor starter to limit the starting current to 1.5 times the full-load current.

5. ​Find
the no-load and full-load speeds for a four-pole, 220-V, and 20-kW, shunt motor having the
following data :Field–current = 5 amp, armature resistance = 0.04 ohm, Flux per pole = 0.04 Wb, number
of armature-conductors = 160, Two-circuit wave-connection,full load current = 95 amp, No load current
=9 A. Neglect armature reaction.

6. ​A500-V D.C. shunt motor draws a line-current of 5 A on light-load. If armature resistance is 0.15
ohm and field resistance is 200 ohms, determine the efficiency of themachine running as a generator
delivering a load current of 40 Amps.At what speed should the Generator be run, if the shunt-field is not
changed, in the above case ? Assume that the motor was running at 600 r.p.m.

7. ​A
d.c. series motor takes 40 A at 220 V and runs at 800 r.p.m. If thearmature and field resistance are
0.2 Ω and 0.1 Ω respectively and the iron and friction losses are 0.5 kW, find the torque developed in the
armature. What will be the output of the motor ?

8. ​An
ammeter requires 3 mA for full scale deflection. When shunt resistance of 0.006 ohm is
connected, it can measure current for a range of 0 – 10 A. Calculate resistance of the meter.
