2. A 20-kW compound generator works on full-load with a terminal voltage of 230 V. The
armature, series and shunt field resistances are 0.1, 0.05 and 115 Ω respectively. Calculate
the generated e.m.f. when the generator is connected short-shunt.

3. A d.c. generator generates an e.m.f. of 520 V. It has 2,000 armature conductors, flux per
pole of 0.013 Wb, speed of 1200 r.p.m. and the armature winding has four parallel paths.

4. When driven at 1000 r.p.m. with a flux per pole of 0.02 Wb, a d.c. generator has an e.m.f. of
200 V. If the speed is increased to 1100 r.p.m. and at the same time the flux per pole is

5. Calculate the flux per pole required on full-load for a 50-kW, 400 V, 8 pole, 600 r.p.m. d.c.

winding resistance is 0.1 Ω, the shunt field resistance is 200 Ω and there is a brush contact
voltage drop of 1 V at each brush on full-load.
