TU3 DC-generator

This document contains 11 questions about direct current (DC) generators and motors. The questions calculate various electrical properties such as armature current, generated electromotive force (EMF), torque, power, and speed given information about the machine type (shunt, series, compound), resistance values, operating voltage, current, power, and rpm. Examples of calculations include determining the generated EMF of a DC generator supplying a given current at a voltage, or calculating the speed of a machine running as a motor given the input power and voltage.

QN1 A 4-pole dc shunt generator has wave wound armature. The armature and field winding
resistances are 0.2 ohm and 60 ohms respectively. The brush contact drop is 1V per brush. The
generator is delivering a power of 3kW at 120V. Calculate:

a) Total armature current coming out from the brush.


b) Current in each armature conductor
c) Generated EMF (E) [ 27A, 13.5A, 127.4V ]

QN2 A dc series generator is running at 800 rpm and delivering a power of 6kW to the load at 120V.
The armature and field winding resistance are 0.1 ohm and 0.3 ohm respectively. When the
load is increased to 9kW, the speed is increased to 1200 rpm. Calculate the new values of
armature current and load terminal voltage. [48.66A, 184.95 V]

armature resistance and (b) the value of the generated emf when the output is 60kw, if the
terminal voltage then is 520V. [0.123, 534.56V]

QN7. A 6 pole wave-wound dc shunt generator has 1200 armature conductors. The useful flux per pole
is 0.02wb, the armature resistance is 0.4 and the speed is 400 rpm. If the shunt resistance is
220, calculate the maximum current which the generator can deliver to an external load if the
terminal voltage is not to fall below 440V. [98 A]

QN8 A separately excited dc generator running at 1200rpm supplies 200A at 125V to a load of constant
