DC GENERATOR QUESTIONS

DC GENERATOR
DC Generator

Q1. A 4-pole machine running at 1500


r.p.m has an armature with 80 slots and 6
conductors per slot. The flux per pole is 6 x
106 lines. Determine the terminal e.m.f. of
d.c. generator if the coils are lap
connected. If the current per conductor is
100 Amps, determine the electrical power.
Q2. An eight pole armature is wound with
480 conductors. The magnetic flux and the
speed are such that the average e.m.f.
generated in each conductor is 2.2 V, and
each conductor is capable of carrying a full
load current of 100 A. Calculate the
terminal voltage on no load, the output
current on full load and the total power
generated on full load when the armature
is
lap-connected
Wave-connected.

3. Calculate the e.m.f. generated by a 4-


pole, wave wound armature having 40 slots
with 18 conductors per slot when driven at
1000 r.p.m. The flux per pole is 0.015 wb.
Q4. A 200V, long-shunt compound-wound
generator has a full-load output of 20kW.
The various resistances are as follows;
armature (including brush contact) 0.15
ohm, series field 0.025ohm, interpole field
0.028ohm, shunt field (including the field-
regulator resistance) 115ohm. The iron
losses at full load are 780W, and the
friction and windage losses 590W.
Calculate the efficiency at full load.
Q 5. A shunt-wound generator has the following
open-circuit characteristic. If the actual field-
resistance value is half that of the critical field
resistance, above which the machine will fail to
excite, find the open-circuit voltage. The e.m.f.
when the generator is operating at a load of 200A
falls to 135 V. Find the terminal voltage and the
armature resistance.
Field current (A) 0.5 1.0 2.0 3.0
4.0 5.0
Open circuit voltage (V) 55 90 133 160
179 193
Q6. A shunt-wound generator has a
magnetization-curve given by the figures below.
The total resistance in the field circuit is 20 Ohm
and the armature resistance is 0.02 Ohm. With
the machine on load, estimate the e.m.f.
generated and the armature current when the
terminal voltage of the machine is 140V.
Field current (I) amperes 1.2 2.8 5.0 7.0
7.7 9.0 11.0
Generated e.m.f. (e)Volts 46 88 126 149
154 162 168
Q7. Two shunt generators X and Y work in
parallel. Their external characteristics may
be assumed to be linear over their normal
working range. The terminal voltage of X
falls 265 V on no load to 230 V when
delivering 350 A to the bus bars, while the
voltage of Y falls from 270 V on no load to
240 V when delivering 400 A to the bus
bars. Calculate the current which each
machine delivers when they share a
common load of 500 A. What is the bus bar
voltage under this condition and the power
delivered by each machine?
Q8. What is a commutator? Discuss its
rectifying action in detail.
Q9. Explain the purpose of interpoles and
state their magnetic polarity relative to the
main poles of both generators and motors.
Q10. Explain the process of voltage buildup
in a self-excited shunt generator.
Q11. Describe the no-load saturation
characteristic of a D.C. generator.
Q12. Which of the following devices will
prevent a DC generator from becoming
motorized?

Motorization trip
Reverse power relay
Reverse current relay
Give a detailed explanation as to why the
other options were not considered.
