DC MOTORS

EXAMPLE 1
A simplex lap wound armature has 580
conductors and carries a current of 125 amperes
per armature current path. If the flux per pole is
20mWb. Calculate the electromagnetic torque
developed by the armature.
Example 2
A 6-pole lap wound shunt motor takes 300 A
when the speed is 500 rpm. The flux per pole is
0.06 Wb and the armature has 870 turns.
Neglecting the shunt field current, calculate the
output power of the motor. assume constant loss
of 0.04.
Example 3
A 220V shunt motor driving its normal load
draws an armature current of 50A from a 220V
DC source. The armature resistance of this
motor including brushes is 0.25 ohm. How much
armature current (minimum)will this motor draw
from a 200V DC source when driving the same
load with the field adjusted to maintain the same
speed.
EXAMPLE 4
A DC shunt motor runs 600 rpm on a 240V
supply while drawing a line current of 30A. Its
armature and field resistances are 0.5 ohms and
120 ohms respectively. What resistance should
be placed in series with the armature circuit in
order to reduce the speed to 400 rpm. Assume no
changes in the armature or the filed current.
EXAMPLE 5
A 120V Shunt motor has an armature resistance
equivalent of 0.5 ohms and a field resistance of
60 ohms. At full load, the motor takes 10A and
the speed is 1000 rpm. At what speed must this
motor maybe driven as a generator to deliver
10A to an external load at 120V?
EXAMPLE 6
A Shunt motor draws a current of 40 A from a
120V source and runs at 1200 rpm at rated load.
The armature and field circuit resistances are 0.1
ohms and 60 ohms respectively. Determine the
speed of the motor at half load. Assume a brush
drop of 2V at rated load and 1 V at half load.
EXAMPLE 7
A nameplate rating of a shunt motor is 150hp,
600V, 205A 1700 rm. The resistance of the shunt
field circuit is 240 ohms and the total armature
circuit resistance is 0.15 ohms. If the motor is to
deliver full-load torque at 1200 rpm, what value
of resistance must be added to armature circuit?
EXAMPLE 8
A 100V shunt motor is developing 6hp while
operating at overall efficiency of 86%. The
armature and shunt field resistances are 0.06 and
50 ohms respectively. Determine the stray power
losses.
EXAMPLE 9
A certain shunt motor has an armature resistance
of 0.05 ohms. It draws 50 A at terminal voltage
of 120V. Assume other miscellaneous losses at
1%. Determine the output horsepower of the
motor.
EXAMPLE 10
The field and armature resistances of a 220V
series motor are 0.2 ohms and 0.1 ohms
respectively. The motor takes 30 A of current
while running at 700 rpm. If the total iron and
friction losses are 350W, determine the motor
efficiency.
