(b) What are the speed and efficiency of the motor if it is operating at an armature current of 40 A
(Voltage = 120V)
2. A 240-V 100-A dc motor which has both shunt and series windings. Its characteristics are
The motor has compensating windings and interpoles. The magnetization curve for this motor at
3000r/min is as shown in Fig Q2b.

3. A 300-hp 440-V 560-A, 863 r/min shunt dc motor has been tested, and the following data were
taken: Blocked-rotor test: No-load operation:
What is this motors efficiency at the rated conditions? [Note: Assume that (1) the brush voltage
drop is 2 V; (2) the core loss is to be determined at an armature voltage equal to the armature
voltage under full load; and (3) stray load losses are 1 percent of full load.]
4. A 50 HP, 240 Vdc separately excited motor is operating at 1000 rpm. The motor draws 7800
watts from dc supply. The total armature resistance is 0.221 Ω . Find:
a.) The emf constant, Ke of the motor
b.) The motor speed if the terminal voltage is reduced by 20% and the power drawn remains the
same.
5. A 25 kVA single-phase motor has a power factor of 0.8 lag. A 10 kVA capacitor is connected
for powerfactor correction. Calculate the input apparent power in kVA taken from the mains
and its power factor when the motor is
a) on half load;
b) on full load.
6. A lift of 250 kg mass is raised with a velocity of 5 m/s. If the driving motor has an efficiency of
85 per cent, calculate the input power to the motor
