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.
