Note: Missing data, if any may be assumed suitably.

1. The following figures give the O.C.C. of a d.c. shunt generator at 300 r.p.m.
Field amperes: 0 2 3 4 5 6 7

Armature volt: 7.5 92 132 162 183 190 212

Plot the O.C.C. for 375 r.p.m. and determine the voltage to which the machine will
excite if field circuit resistance is 40 Ω.
(a) What additional resistance would have to be inserted in the field circuit to reduce
the voltage to 200 volts at 375 r.p.m.?
(b) Without this additional resistance, determine the load current supplied by the
generator, when its terminal voltage is 200 V. Ignore armature reaction and assume
speed to be constant. Armature resistance is 0.4 Ω.

2. The open-circuit characteristic of a separately-excited d.c. generator driven at 1000


r.p.m. is as follows:
Field amperes: 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1.4 1.6

E.M.F. volts: 30 55 75 90 100 110 115 120


If the machine is connected as shunt generator and driven at 1,000 r.p.m. and has a field
resistance of 100 Ω, find (a) open-circuit voltage and exciting current (b) the critical
resistance and (c) resistance to induce 115 volts on open circuit.

3. A 60-kW d.c. shunt generator has 1600 turns/pole in its shunt winding. A shunt field
current of 1.25 A is required to generate 125 V at no-load and 1.75 A to generate 150
V at full load. Calculate
(i) the minimum number of series turns/pole needed to produce the required no-load
and full- load voltages as a short-shunt compound generator.
(ii) if the generator is equipped with 3 series turns/pole having a resistance of 0.02 Ω,
calculate divertor resistance required to produce the desired compounding.
(iii) voltage regulation of the compound generator.

4. A 250-kW, 240-V generator is to be compounded such that its voltage rises from 220
volts at no-load to 240 V at full load. When series field is cut out and shunt field is
excited from an external source, then from the load test it is found that this rise in
voltage can be obtained by increasing the exciting current from 7 A at no-load to 12 A
at full-load. Given shunt turns/pole = 650, series turns/pole = 4 and resistance of series
winding, 0.006 Ω. If the machine is connected long-shunt, find the resistance of the
series amp-turns at no-load and drop in series winding resistance at full-load

5. A d.c. shunt generator has a full load output of 10 kW at a terminal voltage of 240 V.
The armature and the shunt field winding resistances are 0.6 and 160 ohms respectively.
The sum of the mechanical and core-losses is 500 W. Calculate the power required, in
kW, at the driving shaft at full load, and the corresponding efficiency.

6. A 110-V shunt generator has a full-load current of 100 A, shunt field resistance of 55
Ω and constant losses of 500 W. If F.L. efficiency is 88%, find armature resistance.
Assuming voltage to be constant at 110 V. calculate the efficiency at half FL. And at
50% overload. Find the load current.

7. Hysteresis and eddy current losses of single-phase transformer working on 200 V, 50


Hz is Ph and Pc respectively. The percentage decrease in Ph and Pc, when the transformer
operates on 160 V, 40 Hz supply, will respectively be?

8. A load of 7.5 kW at 230V is supplied by a short-shunt cumulatively compound DC


generator. If the armature, series and shunt field resistances are 0·4, 0·3 and 100 ohm
respectively. Calculate the induced emf and the load resistance.
