1. With a neat sketch, explain the construction, the different parts and working principle of a D.C. Machines.
2. Draw a neat sketch of the cross-sectional view of a DC Machine and explain the function and
material used for each part.
3. Suppose that, the four terminals of a D.C Shunt machine are available, but they are unmarked. Explain How
will you identify the field and armature terminals?
4. Explain why all field coils placed on field poles have the same no. of turns / pole and are always connected
in series.
5. What is the difference between Lap winding & Wave winding?
6. What is separate excitation & self-excitation? What do you do if a self-excited DC Machine
Fails to build up e.m.f.?
7. Explain the different methods of excitation of D.C Generators with sketches.
8. What is the meaning of Électrical Angle? How it is different from mechanical angle and
explain the relation between this two?
9. Derive the e.m.f equation of a D.C. Generator.
10. Briefly describe the Open circuit and Explain the magnetization characteristics of D.C. Generators.
11. With reference to the curve for buildup of a self-excited generator, explain (i) critical field
resistance Rc (ii) field resistance higher than Rc; and its effect on build up.
12. State the different types of D.C generators and their applications. Draw their circuit diagrams
and write down the voltage equations.
13. Derive the electro dynamic equation of rotating electrical machines and explain the principle of
energy conversion.

14. Draw the developed diagram layout of a lap connected simplex double layer DC armature with 16 slots and
4 poles. Furnish the winding table and show connections to 4 equalizer rings.

15. For a 6 pole DC armature with 16 slots having 2 coil sides per slot and single turn coils, calculate the
relevant pitches for a wave winding and draw the developed diagram.

16. A 500 Volts, 250 kW Long shunt compound generator induces an e.m.f of 480 Volts when running at 1000
r.p.m. on no-load. On full load, the speed of the machine drops to 975 r.p.m, the flux increased by 15% and
the terminal voltage rises to 500 Volts. If the series and shunt field resistance are 0.02 ohm and 100 ohm
respectively, calculate the armature resistance. Assume a voltage drop of 1Volt per brush.

17. Two shunt generators, each with a no load voltage of 125 V are run in parallel. Their external characteristics
can be taken as straight lines over their operating ranges. The first generator is rated at 250 kW and its full
load voltage is 119 V. The second generator is rated at 200 kW at 116 V. Calculate the bus-bar voltage
when the total load is 3500 A. How is the load divided between the two?

18. Two D.C. Shunt Generators are operated in parallel to supply a load of 1500A. The armature and field
resistances of the machines are 0.01 Ω and 0.2 Ω and 25 Ω and 20 Ω respectively. If the induced e.m.f’s
are 250V and 240V respectively, find (i) terminal voltage (ii) the current output of each generator.
