Tutorial Questions DC Electrical Machines

1) Two parallel wires carry currents I1 and I2 in the same direction. The magnetic intensity between the wires is given. Using the force on the wires and magnetic intensity, I1 is calculated to be 80A and I2 to be 30A. 2) The force between two parallel conductors is given. Using the spacing and that one conductor carries twice the current of the other, the currents are calculated to be 6,060A and 12,120A. 3) An e.m.f. is induced in a coil when a current decreases uniformly over a time. Using the given e.m.f., current, and time, the inductance is calculated to be 3H.

1.

Two long straight parallel wires, standing in air 2 m apart, carry currents I1 and I2 in
the same direction. The magnetic intensity at a point midway between the wires is 7.95
AT/m. If the force on each wire per unit length is 2.4 × 10−4 N, evaluate I1 and I2.
[ANSWER: I1 = 80A & I2 = 30 A]
2. The force between two long parallel conductors is 15 kg/metre. The conductor spacing
is 10 cm. If one conductor carries twice the current of the other, calculate the current in
each conductor. [6,060 A; 12,120 A]
3. An e.m.f. of 1.5 kV is induced in a coil when a current of 4A collapses uniformly to
zero in 8 ms. Determine the inductance of the coil. [ANSWER: L=3H]
4. Figure 1.1 shows a ring formed with two different materials — cast steel and mild
steel.

The dimensions are:


Materials Field intensity H mean length cross-sectional area
Mild steel 1400 A/m 400 mm 500 mm2
Cast steel 4800 A/m 300 mm 312.5 mm2

Find the total m.m.f. required to cause a flux of 500 μWb in the magnetic circuit.
Determine also the total circuit reluctance.
[ANSWER: m.m.f = 2000A, H= 4 × 106/H]
5. Calculate the
(i) front pitch, and back pitch for a simplex lap wound 16 slots, 4 pole DC armature.
(ii) Make the winding table and draw the winding diagram in the developed form.
(iii) Also draw the sequence diagram to show the position of brushes.
Assume 2 coil sides/ slot.
