Problem Statement: A rolling mill driven by thyristor converter fed DC motor operates on a speed reversing

duty cycle. Motor field current is maintained constant at the rated value. Moment of inertia referred to the
motor shaft is 10,000 kg- Duty cycle consists of following intervals:
i) Rolling at full speed (200 rpm) and at a constant torque of 25,000 N-m for 10 sec.
ii) No load operation for 1 sec at full speed
iii) Speed reversal from 200 to -200 rpm in 5 sec
iv) No load operation for 1 sec at full speed
v) Rolling at full speed (200 rpm) and at a constant torque of 20,000 N-m for 15 sec.
vi) No load operation for 1 sec at full speed
vii) Speed reversal from -200 to 200 rpm in 5 sec
viii) No load operation at full speed for 1 sec
Determine the torque and power rating of the motor.
A motor driving a colliery winding equipment has to deliver a load having the following characteristics:
a) Rising uniformly from zero to a maximum of 2000 kW in 20 sec during accelerating period
b) 1000 kW for 40 sec during the full speed period, and
c) During the deceleration period of 10 sec, when regenerative braking is taking place, the power returned to
the supply falls from an initial value of 330 kW to zero.
The interval of decking the next load cycle is 20 sec. What size of continuously rated motor would be suitable?
