1. A dc motor operates from a 240V supply. The armature resistance is
0.2Ω. Determine the back emf when the armature current is 50A. 2. The armature of a dc machine has a resistance of 0.25Ω and is connected to a 300V supply. Calculate the emf generated when it is running: (a) as a generator giving 100A, and (b) as a motor taking 80A. 3. Determine the torque developed by a 350V dc motor having an armature resistance of 0.5Ω and running at 15 rps. The armature current is 60A. 4. The shaft torque of a diesel motor driving a 100V dc shunt-wound generator is 25Nm. The armature current of the generator is 16A at this value of torque. If the shunt field regulator is adjusted so that the flux is reduced by 15%, the torque increases to 35Nm. Determine the armature current at this new value of torque. 5. A 240V shunt motor takes a total current of 30A. If the field winding resistance Rf = 150Ω and the armature resistance Ra = 0.4Ω determine (a) the current in the armature, and (b) the back emf. 6. A 200V, dc shunt-wound motor has an armature resistance of 0.4Ω and at a certain load has an armature current of 30A and runs at 1350rpm. If the load on the shaft of the motor is increased so that the armature current increases to 45A, determine the speed of the motor, assuming the flux remains constant. 7. A 220V, dc shunt-wound motor runs at 800rpm and the armature current is 30A. The armature circuit resistance is 0.4Ω. Determine (a) the maximum value of armature current if the flux is suddenly reduced by 10% and (b) the steady state value of the armature current at the new value of flux, assuming the shaft torque of the motor remains constant. 8. A series motor has an armature resistance of 0.2Ω and a series field resistance of 0.3Ω. It is connected to a 240V supply and at a particular load runs at 24rps when drawing 15A from the supply. (a) Determine the generated emf at this load. (b) Calculate the speed of the motor when the load is changed such that the current is increased to 30A. Assume that this causes a doubling of the flux. 9. A 320V shunt motor takes a total current of 80A and runs at 1000rpm. If the iron, friction and windage losses amount to 1.5kW, the shunt field resistance is 40Ω and the armature resistance is 0.2Ω, determine the overall efficiency of the motor. 10. A 250V series motor draws a current of 40A. The armature resistance is 0.15Ω and the field resistance is 0.05Ω. Determine the maximum efficiency of the motor. 11. A 200V dc motor develops a shaft torque of 15Nm at 1200rpm. If the efficiency is 80%, determine the current supplied to the motor. 12. A dc series motor drives a load at 30rps and takes a current of 10A when the supply voltage is 400V. If the total resistance of the motor is 2Ω and the iron, friction and windage losses amount to 300W, determine the efficiency of the motor. 13. A 500V shunt motor runs at its normal speed of 10rps when the armature current is 120A. The armature resistance is 0.2Ω. (a) Determine the speed when the current is 60A and a resistance of 0.5Ω is connected in series with the armature, the shunt field remaining constant. (b) Determine the speed when the current is 60A and the shunt field is reduced to 80% of its normal value by increasing resistance in the field circuit. 14. On full-load a 300V series motor takes 90A and runs at 15rps. The armature resistance is 0.1Ω and the series winding resistance is 50mΩ. Determine the speed when developing full load torque but with a 0.2Ω diverter in parallel with the field winding. (Assume that the flux is proportional to the field current.) 15. A series motor runs at 800rpm when the voltage is 400V and the current is 25A. The armature resistance is 0.4Ω and the series field resistance is 0.2Ω. Determine the resistance to be connected in series to reduce the speed to 600rpm with the same current.
