shunt filed resistance of 100 Ω.
(b) The critical value of shunt field resistance at 1500 RPM.
(c) The critical speed for the shunt file resistance of 100 Ω.
(d) The magnetizing curve at 1200 RPM, and therefore the open circuit voltage for a field

Question 3

A 230 V, DC shunt motor, takes an armature current of 3.33 A at rated voltage and at a no-load
speed of 1000 RPM. The resistance of the armature circuit and field circuit 0.3 Ω and 160 Ω.
The line current at full load and rated voltage is 40 A. Calculate, at full load, the speed, and the
developed torque in case the armature reaction weakens the no-load flux by 4 %.

Answer 3: Speed = 995 RPM, Torque = 80.835 RPM

Question 4
A 250 V, 4 pole shunt motor has two circuit armature winding with 500 conductors. The
armature circuit resistance is 0.25 Ω, field resistance is 125 Ω and the flux per pole is 0.02 Wb.
Armature reaction is neglected. If the motor draws 14 A from the mains, then compute
(a) Speed and the internal (total or gross) torque developed,
(b) The shaft power, shaft torque and efficiency with rottional losses equal to 300 watts

Answer 4: Speed 74 RPM, Shaft Power = 2664 W, Shaft Torque = 34.4 Nm, Efficiency =
76.2 %

Question 5

from 250 V supply mains. The sum of armature circuit resistance and series field resistance is
0.2 Ω. The motor is coupled to drive a load having the torque speed characteristics given by
𝑇# = 5√𝑛
Where 𝑇# is in Nm and n is in RPM
If the motor is energized from a 250 V DC source, find
(a) The operating speed of the motor and connected load and
(b) The current drawn from the source
Neglect magnetic saturation, armature reaction and rotational losses
