1. A dc shunt-wound generator running at constant speed generates a voltage of 150V at a certain

value of field current. Determine the change in the generated voltage when the field current is
reduced by 20%, assuming the flux is proportional to the field current.
2. A dc generator running at 30rps generates an emf of 200V. Determine the percentage increase in
the flux per pole required to generate 250V at 20rps.
3. Determine the terminal voltage of a generator which develops an emf of 200V and has an
armature current of 30A on load. Assume the armature resistance is 0.3Ω
4. A generator is connected to a 60Ω load and a current of 8A flows. If the armature resistance is
1Ω determine (a) the terminal voltage, and (b) the generated emf.
5. A separately-excited generator develops a no-load emf of 150V at an armature speed of 20rps
and a flux per pole of 0.1Wb. Determine the generated emf when (a) the speed increases to
25rps and the pole flux remains unchanged, (b) the speed remains at 20rps and the pole flux is
decreased to 0.08Wb, and (c) the speed increases to 24rps and the pole flux is decreased to
0.07Wb.
6. A shunt generator supplies a 20kW load at 200V through cables of resistance of 100mΩ. If the
field winding resistance 50Ω and the armature resistance 40mΩ, determine (a) the terminal
voltage, and (b) the emf generated in the armature.
7. A short-shunt compound generator supplies 80A at 200V. If the field resistance = 40Ω, the series
resistance 0.02Ω and the armature resistance = 0.04Ω, determine the emf generated.
8. A 10 kW shunt generator having an armature circuit resistance of 0.75Ω and a field resistance of
125Ω, generates a terminal voltage of 250V at full load. Determine the efficiency of the generator
at full load, assuming the iron, friction and windage losses amount to 600W.
9. A separately excited dc generator has
VF = 140V, RF = 10Ω, Radj = 4Ω, RA =
0.065Ω, the prime mover rotates the
armature at a speed of 1000rpm, and
the magnetization curve is as shown.
Determine the field current, the no-
load voltage, the full-load voltage, and
the percentage voltage regulation for a
full-load current of 200A. Assuming
that the overall efficiency (not
including the power supplied to the
field circuit) of the machine is 85
percent, determine the input torque, the developed torque, and the losses associated with
friction, windage, eddy currents, and hysteresis.
