PROBLEMS

1. Each shunt-field coil of a dc generator produced 2700 amp-turns. How many turns are
there in the coil if the current is 1.5 amp?

Given:

NI=2700 amp-turns

I=1.5 amp

Solution:

Let N=number of turns

Since:
NI = 2700 amp-turns
2700
N= 1.5

N = 1800 turns

2. A 50-kw 250 volt compound generator (short-shunt) has a series field in which each coil
is wound with 812 turns. How many ampere-turns are produced by each coil?

Given:

P = 50 kw compound generator

Vt = 250 volts

Ns = 812 turns

Solution:

Let: NI = the number of amp-turns

Since:

P= EI
𝑃
I=𝐸

50000 𝑊
= 250 𝑉

I = 200 amp
 Then:

NI = 8.5turns X 200amp

NI = 1700 amp-turns

3. If each curve in fig. 67 was obtained for a speed was obtained for a speed of 1500 rpm,
calculate the points and draw a graph for a speed of 1800 rpm.

4. Calculate the percent voltage regulation of a shunt generator is
