2. A 15-hp 221-V 1800 r/min shunt dc motor has a full-load armature current of 60 A when
operating at rated conditions. The armature resistance of the motor is AR = 0.15 Ω, and
the field resistance F R is 80 Ω. The adjustable resistance in the field circuit R adj may be
varied over the range from 0 to 200 Ω and is currently set to 90 Ω. Armature reaction
may be ignored in this machine.

above?

the motor?
(c) What are the copper losses and rotational losses in the motor at full load (ignore stray losses)?
(d) What is the efficiency of the motor at full load?
(e) If the motor is now unloaded with no changes in terminal voltage or R adj , what is the no-load
speed of the motor?
(f) Suppose that the motor is running at the no-load conditions described in part (e). What would
happen to the motor if its field circuit were to open? Ignoring armature reaction, what would the
final steady state speed of the motor be under those conditions?[ If IF = 0 A, EAO = 8.5 V at 1800
r/min]
SOLUTION

If R adj = 90 Ω, the total field resistance is 170 Ω, and the resulting field current is

This field current would produce a voltage E Ao of 221 V at a speed of n o = 1800 r/min.
The output power is 7.5 hp and the output speed is 1800 r/min at rated conditions, therefore, the
torque is

The copper losses are

The power converted from electrical to mechanical form is

The output power is

Therefore, the rotational losses are

The input power to this motor is

Therefore, the efficiency is

The no-load EA will be 230 V, so the no-load speed will be

(In reality, the motor speed would be limited by rotational losses, or else the motor will destroy
itself first.)
3. A 480V, 60Hz, Δ-connected, four-pole Synchronous generator has the OCC shown in
Figure 1. This generator has a synchronous reactance of 0.1 Ω and an armature resistance
of 0.0 15 Ω. At full load, the machine supplies 1200A at 0.8 PF lagging. Under full -load
conditions, the friction and windage losses are 40 kW, and the core losses are 30 kW.
Ignore any field circuit losses.

Open-Circuit characteristic of the generator

(a) What is the speed of rotation of this generator?

(b) How much field current must be supplied to the generator to make the terminal voltage 480 V
at no load?

(c) If the generator is now connected to a load and the load draws 1200 A at 0.8 PF lagging, how
much field current will be required to keep the terminal voltage equal to 480 V?
(d) How much power is the generator now supplying? How much power is supplied to the
generator by the prime mover? What is this machine's overall efficiency?
(e) If the generator's load were suddenly disconnected from the line, what would happen to its
terminal voltage?

(f) Finally, suppose that the generator is connected to a load drawing 1200 A at 0.8
PF leading. How much field current would be required to keep VT at 480 V?
