Problems on DC Machines

1. A dc machine armature has a rated current of 250A. The machine has 12 poles.
What is the current per path of the armature if the winding is (i) wave wound, (ii) lap
wound.
[ans:125A, 20.833A]

2. The induced emf in a dc machine when running at 500 rpm is 180V. Calculate the
induced emf while it is running at 600 rpm. Assume the flux to be constant.
[ans: 216V]

3. A 6 pole lap wound dc generator has an armature with 90 slots and 6 conductors
per slot and rotates at 1200 rpm. The flux per pole is 50 mwb. Calculate the emf
generated.
[ans: 540V]

4. At what speed should a wave wound 6 pole dc machine having 480 conductors and
a flux of 60 mwb per pole be run to generate 320V on open-circuit?
[ans: 222 rpm]

5. The armature of a 2 pole 200V generator has 400 conductors and runs at 300 rpm.
Calculate the useful flux per pole. If the number of turns in each field coil is 1200,
what is the average value of the emf induced in each coil on breaking the field, if the
flux dies away completely in 0.1 sec?
[ans: 1200V]

6.Calculate the armature torque developed by a 440V dc shunt motor having armature
resistance of 0.25 ohm and running at 750 rpm when taking an armature current of
60A.
[ans: 324.7 Nm]

7. Determine (i) total torque developed, (ii) the useful torque of a 250V, 4 pole series
motor with 782 conductors wave-connected developing 8 kW and taking 40 A with a
flux per pole of 25 mwb. The resistance of the motor is 0.76 ohm.
[ans: 248.68 Nm, 226.3 Nm]

8. A shunt generator has an induced emf of 254V. When the generator is loaded, the
terminal voltage is 240V. Find the load current if the armature resistance is 0.04 ohm
and the field circuit resistance is 24 ohm. Give sketch.
[ans: 340A]

9. A 20 kW, 200V shunt generator has an armature resistance of 0.05 ohm and a
shunt field resistance of 200 ohm. Calculate the power developed in the armature
when it delivers rated output. Give sketch.
[ans: 20.71 kW]
