Name: Section:
1. Calculate the torque in newton-metre developed by a 440-V d.c. motor
having an armature resistance of 0.25 Ω and running at 750 r.p.m. when taking
a current of 60 A.

2. A 4-pole, lap-connected d.c. motor has 576 conductors and draws an


armature current of 10 A. If the flux per pole is 0.02 Wb. calculate the
armature torque developed.
3. (a) A d.c. shunt machine has armature and field resistances of 0.025 Ω and
80 2 respectively. When connected to constant 400-V bus-bars and driven as a
generator at 450 r.p.m., it delivers 120 kW. Calculate its speed when running
as a motor and absorbing 120 kW from the same bus-bars.
(b) Deduce the direction of rotation of this machine when it is working as a
motor assuming a clockwise rotation as a generator.

4. The armature current of a series motor is 60 A when on full-load. If the load


is adjusted to that this current decreases to 40-A, find the new torque
expressed as a percentage of the full-load torque. The flux for a current of 40
A is 70% of that when current is 60 A.
5. A 4-pole, d.c. shunt motor has a flux per pole of 0.04 Wb and the armature
is lap-wound with 720 conductors. The shunt field resistance is 240 £2 and
the armature resistance is 0.22. Brush contact drop is IV per brush. Determine
the speed of the machine when running (a) as a motor taking 60 A and (b) as
a generator supplying 120 A. The terminal voltage in each case is 480 V.
6. A 25-kW shunt generator is delivering full output to 400-V bus-bars and is
driven at 950 r.p.m. by belt drive. The belt breaks suddenly but the machine
continues to run as a motor taking 25 kW from the bus-bars. At what speed
does it run? Take armature resistance including brush contact resistance as
0.5 Ω and field resistance of 160 Ω.

7. A 4-pole, d.c. shunt motor has a wave-wound armature with 65 slots each
containing 6 conductors. The flux per pole is 20 mWb and the armature has a
resistance of 0.15 Ω Calculate the motor speed when the machine is operating
from a 250-V supply and taking a current of 60 A.
8. A 500-V, d.c. shunt motor has armature and field resistances of 0.5 Ω and
200 Ω respectively. When loaded and taking a total input of 25 kW, it runs at
400 r.p.m. Find the speed at which it must be driven as a shunt generator to
supply a power output of 25 kW at a terminal voltage of 500 V.
9. A d.c. shunt motor runs at 900 r.p.m. from a 400 V supply when taking an
armature current of 25 A. Calculate the speed at which it will run from a 230 V
supply when taking an armature current of 15 A. The resistance of the
armature circuit is 0.8 Ω Assume the flux per pole at 230 V to have decreased
to 75% of its value at 400 V

10. A shunt machine connected to 250-A mains has an armature resistance of


0.12 Ω and field resistance of 100 Ω. Find the ratio of the speed of the
machine as a generator to the speed as a motor, if line current is 80 A in both
cases.
11. A 20-kW d.c. shunt generator delivering rated output at 1000 r.p.m. has a
terminal voltage of 500 V. The armature resistance is 0.1 Ω, voltage drop per
brush is I volt and the field resistance is 500 Ω. Calculate the speed at which
the machine will run as a motor taking an input of 20 kW from a 500 V d.c.
supply.
12. A 4-pole, 250-V, d.c. shunt motor has a lap-connected armature with 960
conductors. The flux per pole is 2 x 10^-2 Wb. Calculate the torque developed
by the armature and the useful torque in newton-metre when the current taken
by the motor is 30A. The armature resistance is 0.12 Ω and the field resistance
Ast 125 Ω. The rotational losses amount to 825 W.
