1. A fan motor whose torque is proportional to the square of the speed is driven
by a separately excited DC motor. The motor draws a current of 8 A at 120 V
and runs at a speed of 500 rpm. What voltage and current is to be applied to
run the motor at 750 rpm. The armature resistance of the motor is 1 ohm and
losses are neglected.
2. A 250 V, 8 kW with Ra = 0.7 ohm DC shunt motor runs at 1250 rpm Its field is
adjusted at no-load so that its armature carries a current of 1.6 A. When load
is applied, the current drawn by it increases to 40 A and speed falls to 1150
rpm. How much flux per pole reduces due to armature reaction?
3. A 250 volt dc shunt motor has armature resistance of 0.25 ohm, on load it takes
an armature current of 50 A and runs at 750 rpm If the flux of motor is reduced
by 10% without changing the load torque, find the new speed of the motor.
4. The armature and field resistance of a 230 V DC series motor is 0.15 ohm and
0.1 ohm respectively. It runs at a speed of 800 rpm when connected to rated
voltage drawing a current of 100 A. What will be its speed when it draws 25 A
from the supply considering that its flux is only 45 percent at this current as
compared to 100 A.
5. A 400 V series motor has a total resistance of 0.25 ohm, when running at 1200
rpm it draws a current 25 A. When a regulating resistance of 2.75 ohm is
included in the armature circuit, it draws a current of 15 A. Find the speed and
ratio of the two mechanical outputs. Assume that the flux with 15 A is 75% of
that with 25 A.
6. The field and armature resistance of a 200 V DC series motor is 0.3 ohm and
0.5 ohm respectively. The motor runs at a speed of 700 rpm when drawing a
current of 25 A. What value of additional series resistance is required to reduce
the speed to 350 rpm keeping intake current constant.
