Part – III Example / Tutorial

1 A 250 volt d.c. shunt motor has armature resistance of 0.25 ohm, on load it takes an armature current of
50 A and runs at 750 r.p.m. If the flux of motor is reduced by 10% without changing the load torque, find
the new speed of the motor.
2 A 220 V shunt motor has an armature resistance of 0.5 ohm and takes an armature current of 40 A on
a certain load. By how much must the main flux be reduced to raise the speed by 50% if the developed
torque is constant ? Neglect saturation and armature reaction
3 When running on no-load, a 400-V shunt motor takes 5 A. Armature resistance is 0.5 Ω and field
resistance 200 Ω. Find the output of the motor and efficiency when running on fullload and taking a
current of 50 A. Also, find the percentage change in speed from no-load to fullload.
4 In a test on a d.c. shunt generator whose full-load output is 200 kW at 250 V, the following figures were
obtained : (a) When running light as a motor at full speed, the line current was 36 A, the field current 12
A, and the supply voltage 250. (b) With the machine at rest, a p.d. of 6 V produced a current of 400 A
through the armature circuit. Explain how these results may be utilised to obtain the efficiency of
generator at full-load and half-load. Neglect brush voltage drop
