TECHNOLOGY
DC Machines:
8. The armature of a DC separately excited machine has a resistance of 0.1 Ω and is
connected to a 230 V DC supply. Calculate the generated EMF when it is running:
a. As a generator supplying 80 A
b. As a motor taking 60 A
9. A DC shunt generator running at 1200 RPM supplies a load of 60 kW at 250 V. Find the
speed at which it runs as a shunt motor while taking 60 kW from 250 V DC source. Take
armature resistance as 0.1 Ω and field winding resistance as 50 Ω. Neglect brush drop.
10. A 4 pole DC shunt generator with wave wound armature has 40 slots each having 12
conductors. Armature resistance is 1 Ω and shunt field resistance is 200 Ω. The flux per
pole is 25 mWb. If a load of 50 Ω is connected across armature terminals and armature
current is 50 A then find voltage across load when generator is driven at 1000 RPM. What
will be the load voltage if the armature is lap wounded?
11. A 20 kW, 200 V shunt generator has an armature resistance of 0.05 Ω and shunt field
resistance of 200 Ω. Calculate the power developed in the armature when it delivers rated
output power.
12. A DC shunt motor runs at 600 RPM taking 60 A from 230 V DC supply. Armature
resistance is 0.2 Ω and filed resistance is 115 Ω. Find the speed when current through the
armature is 30 A.
