Tutorial 1

This document contains 6 questions regarding electric drive motors. Question 1 provides magnetization curve data for a 250V DC series motor and asks to determine speed torque curves for a 250V supply. Question 2 similarly provides data for a 200V DC series motor and asks to determine speed torque characteristics at 200V. Question 3 asks about a 200V DC shunt motor's speed and current under loaded and unloaded conditions. Question 4 asks to calculate efficiency of a DC series motor driving a fan load. Questions 5 and 6 ask about performance calculations for DC shunt motors related to no load speed, current, efficiency and power under loaded conditions.

mounted on the front wheels drives the bus. The wheel diameter is 1m. The bus
is going uphill at a speed of 50 km/h. The slope of the hill is 30 deg. The friction
coefficient of the road surface is 0.4. Ignore the motor losses, and compute the
power consumed by the motor.
b) b) If the bus is going in the opposite direction (down the hill) at the same speed,
calculate the power generated by the bus.
