b) A dc chopper is used in rheostat braking of a dc separately excited motor. The [8M]

armature resistance is Ra=0.05 Ω. The braking resistor Rb = 5Ω. The back emf
constant is Kb=1.52 V/A rad/sec. The average armature current is maintained
constant at Ia = 150 A. The armature current is continuous and has negligible
ripple. The field current is If = 1.5 A. If the duty cycle of the chopper is 40 %, find:

(ii) The power dissipated in the braking resistor
(iii) The motor speed.

different modes:
(i) operation at constant flux
(ii) operation at constant (v/f) ratio.
b) A 2.8 kW, 400 V, 50 Hz, 4-pole, 1370 rpm, Y-connected induction motor has the [8M]
following parameters: RS = 1.9 , Rr’ = 4.757, XS = Xr’ = 3 . Load
characteristics are matched with motor such that the motor runs at 1370 rpm with
full voltage across its terminals. The motor is controlled by terminal voltage
control and load torque is proportional to speed. Determine motor terminal voltage
and current at half rated speed.

of 0.2 Ω and leakage reactance of 1Ω per phase referred to stator. When driving a
fan load it runs at full load at 4% slip. What resistance must be inserted in the
rotor circuit to obtain a speed of 850 rpm if stator to rotor turns ratio is 2?
