QUESTION 1
A shunt generator delivers 195A at terminal voltage of 250V. The armature resistance
and shunt field resistance are 0.02 Ω and 50 Ω respectively. The iron and friction losses
equal 950 W. Compute the:
(i) generated emf, [3]
(ii) copper losses, and [3]
(iii) efficiency. [4]
QUESTION 2
A series connected DC motor has an armature resistance of 0.5 Ω and field winding
resistance of 1.5 Ω. In driving a certain load at 1200 rpm the current drawn by the motor
is 20 A from a voltage source of 220 V. the rotational loss is 150 W. Calculate the:
(i) output power, and [5]
(ii) efficiency. [4]
QUESTION 3
A 2-pole, 750 kVA, 1 400 V, 50 Hz, 3-phase alternator is tested in order to determine its
regulation. The armature is star connected. Test results are as follows:
short circuit test: If = 17,5 A, line current = rated
open circuit test: If = 17,5 A; line voltage = 1020 V
dc resistance test: dc line voltage = 15 V: dc line current = 100 A.
Calculate the percentage regulation at unity power factor. [10]
QUESTION 4
A 400 V, 50 Hz, 6 pole, delta-connected , three phase induction motor with a line
current of 73 A consumes 75 kW and runs at a slip of 2.5 %. If the stator loss is 2 kW
and rotational losses are 1.2 kW, Calculate the:
(i) power supplied to the rotor. [3]
(ii) rotor copper losses [3]
(iii) power supplied to the load [3]
(iv) efficiency, and [3]
(v) shaft torque. [3]
