DC Machines

1. A shunt DC generator turning at 2000 rpm produces an induced voltage of 150 V.


The armature resistance is 3 Ω, the field resistance is 200 Ω, and the machine is
delivering 13A. Calculate:
a. The terminal voltage [V].
Ia= Il-If
If= 150/200= 0.25 A
Ia= 13-0.25= 12.25A
Vt=E+IaRa=150+(12.25x3)=186.75V

b. The heat dissipated in the armature and the field winding [W].
Parmature=Ia^2 . Ra = ((12.25)^2)×3=450.56W
Pfield= If^2 . Rf = ((0.75)^2)×200=112.5W
Pheat=Parmature+Pfield=450.56+112.5=563.06W

2. A separately excited DC generator produces a no-load voltage of 115V. What


happens if
a. The speed is increased by 20 percent?

The induced voltage is proportional to speed:

E′=E×(1+(20/100))=115×1.2=138 V

b. The direction of rotation is reversed?


E’= -115V

c. The exciting current is increased by 10 percent?

The induced voltage is proportional to the exciting current. If If increases by


10%, so does E:

E′=E×(1+(10/100))=115×1.1=126.5 V

3. A separately excited DC motor turns at 1400 rpm when the motor is connected to
120 V source. Calculate the armature voltage [V] required to:
a. Run the motor at 1600 rpm.
Vt′=Vt×(N’/N)=120×(1600/1400)=137.14V

b. Run the motor at 150 rpm.


Vt′=120×(150/1400)=12.86V

4. A series-connected DC motor has an armature resistance of 0.5 and field winding


resistance of 1.5. In driving a certain load at 1200 rpm, the current drawn by the
motor is 20A from a voltage source of VT = 220V. The rotational loss is 150W. Find
the output power and efficiency.

1. Voltage across armature and field windings:

Va=Vt−Ia(Ra+Rf)=220−20×(0.5+1.5)=220−40=180 V

2. Input power:

Pinput=Vt×Ia=220×20=4400 W

3. Power developed by the armature:

Pdeveloped=Va×Ia=180×20=3600 W

4. Output power:

Poutput=Pdeveloped−Prot=3600−150=3450 W

5. Efficiency:

η=(Poutput/Pinput)×100=34504400×100=78.41%

5. A 230 V shunt motor has a nominal armature current of 60 A. If the armature


resistance is 0.15 ohm, calculate the following:
a. The counter-emf
E=Vt−IaRa=230−(60×0.15)=230−9=221V

b. The power supplied to the armature


Parmature=Vt×Ia=230×60=13,800W

c. The mechanical power developed by the motor


Pmechanical=E×Ia=221×60=13,260W

d. The initial starting current if the motor is directly connected across 230 V.
Istart= Vt/ Ra=230/0.15=1533.33A

e. The value of the starting resistor needed to limit the initial current to 115 A
Rstart=(Vt /Ilimit) −Ra=(230/115)−0.15=2−0.15=1.85Ω

6. A 230 V, 10 hp d.c. shunt motor delivers power to a load at 1200 /min. The
armature current drawn by the motor is 200 A. The armature circuit resistance of the
motor is 0.2  and the field resistance is 115.
If the rotational losses are 500W, what is the value of the load torque?

1. Counter-emf:

E=Vt−IaRa=230−(200×0.2)=230−40=190 V
2. Mechanical power:
Pmechanical=E×Ia=190×200=38,000 W

3. Load power:
Pload=Pmechanical−Prot=38,000−500=37,500 W

4. Load torque:

T=Pload/ω, ω=2πN/60, N=1200 rpm


ω=(2π×1200)/60=125.66 rad/s
T=37,500/125.66=298.52
