Subject : (ESC101) BASIC ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Class : B. Tech. Sem. I (EC/CE/IT)
Topics : DC Machines

1. State the types of armature windings in DC machines.

2. State applications for (a) a shunt generator (b) a series generator (c) a compound generator.
3. State applications for (a) a shunt motor (b) a series motor (c) a compound motor.
4. Justify: DC motor is said a conduction motor not an induction Motor.
5. A 4-pole generator has a lap-wound armature with 50 slots with 16 conductors per slot. The
useful flux per pole is 30 mWb. Determine the speed at which the machine must be driven
to generate an e.m.f. of 240 V.
6. A short-shunt compound generator supplies 80 A at 200 V. If the field resistance, Rf = 40 Ω,
the series resistance, RSe = 0.02 Ω and the armature resistance, Ra = 0.04 Ω, determine the
e.m.f. generated.
7. A shunt generator supplies a 20kW load at 200V through cables of resistance, R = 100 mΩ.
If the field winding resistance, Rf = 50 Ω and the armature resistance, Ra = 40 mΩ, determine
(a) the terminal voltage, and (b) the e.m.f. generated in the armature
8. A six-pole lap-wound motor is connected to a 250 V DC supply. The armature has 500
conductors and a resistance of 1 Ω. The flux per pole is 20 mWb. Calculate the speed when
the armature current is 40 A.
