Question No.2: Solve the following questions (3+4+3+2+3)

1) For a 230V dc shunt motor, Ra=0.04 ohms and Eb= 215V and speed=800 rpm. The motor (3)
is driving a load having TL=60 N-m. Calculate speed during regenerative braking.

2) A 2 quadrant converter is supplying a load having (4)

Ra= 2 ohm in series with large inductance
Eb= 150 V and Vs=400V
i) Calculate the current in the load if firing angle is 400
ii) If load current=80 A, determine firing angle if we want to achieve regenerative braking

3) Given that: (3)

Tm= (wm) 3 + 11wm and TL=6 (wm) 2 +6

Calculate equilibrium points and determine their steady state stability.

4) A 6 pole, 50 Hz induction motor is rotating at 200 rpm. If rotor resistance=0.04 ohms and (2)
standstill rotor reactance=0.15, determine resistance of rotor starter circuit if maximum
torque is to be exerted on the motor at starting.

5) A 230v, 600rpm, 100 A separately excited dc motor has armature circuit resistance of (3)
0.08 ohm and infinite inductance. Motor is controlled by single phase half controlled
rectifier with source voltage of 230V, 50 Hz .

i) Calculate speed when firing angle=60o and torque= 100N-m

ii) Calculate firing angle when speed = 600rpm at rated torque.
