    a. Highlight the main speed control method that is employed in electric


    traction
    b. A 3-phase, 400-V, star-connected induction motor has a star-connected
    rotor with a stator to rotor turn ratio of 6.5. The rotor resistance and
    standstill reactance per phase are 0.05 Ω and 0.25 Ω respectively. What
    should be the value of external resistance per phase to be inserted in the
    rotor circuit to obtain maximum torque at starting and what will be rotor
    starting current with this resistance?
    c. A 220 V, 500 A, 600 rpm separately excited DC motor has an armature
    and field resistance of 0.02 Ω and 10 Ω respectively. The load torque is
    given by the expression TL=2000-2N, N-m, where N is the speed in rpm.
    Speed below the rated speed is obtained by armature voltage control and
    speeds above the rated speed are obtained by field control method.
    Calculate;
    (i) Motor terminal voltage & armature current for a speed of 450 rpm
    (ii) Field winding voltage & armature current for a speed of 750 rpm

    a. Briefly explain what you understand by regenerative braking in respect


    of DC motors.
    b. A 220V, 970 RPM, 100 A DC separately excited motor has an armature
    resistance of 0.05 Ω. It is braked by plugging from an initial speed of
    1000 RPM. Calculate:
    (i) Resistance to be placed in the armature circuit to limit braking
    current to twice the full load value.
    (ii) Braking torque
    (iii) Torque when the speed has fallen to zero
    c. A 220 V, 200 A, 800 rpm separately excited DC motor has an armature
    resistance of 0.06 Ω. The motor armature is fed from a variable voltage
    source with an internal resistance of 0.04 Ω. Calculate internal voltage of
    the variable source when the motor is operating in regenerative braking
    at 80% of the rated motor torque and 600 rpm.

    ASSIGNMENT

    a. The Buck boost regulator shown in figure below has an input voltage
    of Vs=12V. The duty cycle is 0.25 and the switching frequency is 25 kHz.
    The inductance L=150μH and filter capacitance C=220μF. The average
    load current Ia=1.25A. Determine
    (i) The average output voltage, Vo
    (ii) Peak-to-peak ripple current of inductor, ∆𝐼
    (iii) Peak current of the transistor, Ip

    b. The OCC of the generator of a Ward-Leonard set is as shown in Table


    below
    Field Amps 1.4 2.2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    Armature volts 212 320 397 472 522 560 587 609

    The generator is connected to a shunt motor, the field of which is


    separately-excited at 550 V. If the speed of motor is 300 rpm at 550 V,
    when giving 485 kW at 95.5% efficiency, determine the excitation of the
    generator to give a speed of 180 rpm at the same torque. The resistance
    of the motor circuit = 0.01Ω, resistance of the motor field=60Ω and the
    resistance of the generator armature circuit=0.01Ω. Ignore the effect of
    armature reaction and variation of the core factor and the windage losses
    of the motor.
    c. A 220 V compensated shunt motor drives a 700 N-m torque load when
    running at 1200 rpm. The combined armature compensating winding and
    interpole resistance is 0.008Ω and shunt field resistance is 55Ω. The
    motor efficiency is 90%. Calculate the value of the dynamic braking
    resistor that will be capable of 375 N-m torque at 1050 rpm. The windage
    and friction losses may be assumed to remain constant at both speeds.
