Solve the following:


1. Calculate the flux per pole required on full-load for a 50 kW, 400 V, 8-pole, 600 r.p.m.
d.c. shunt generator with 256 conductors arranged in a lap-connected winding. The
armature winding resistances is 0.1 Ω, the shunt field resistance is 200 Ω and there is a
brush contact voltage drop of 1 V at each brush on full-load.

2. Calculate the flux in a 4-pole dynamo with 722 armature conductors generating 500 V
when running at 1,000 r.p.m. when the armature is (a) lap connected (b) wave
connected.

3. A 4-pole machine running at 1,500 r.p.m. has an armature with 90 slots and 6
conductors per slot. The flux per pole is 10 mWb. Determine the terminal e.m.f as d.c.
generator if the coils are lap-connected. If the current per conductor is 100 A, determine
the electrical power.

4. An 8-pole lap-wound d.c. generator has 120 slots having 4 conductors per slot. If each
conductor can carry 250 A and if flux/pole is 0.05 Wb, calculate the speed of the
generator for giving 240 V on open circuit. If the voltage drops to 220 V on full load, find
the rated output of the machine.

5. A 110-V shunt generator has a full-load current of 100 A, shunt field resistance of 55 Ω
and constant losses of 500 W. If F.L. efficiency is 88%, find the armature resistance.
Assuming voltage to be constant at 110 V, calculate the efficiency at half F.L. and at
50% overload. Find the load current.

6. A short-shunt compound d.c. generator supplies a current of 100 A at a voltage of 220 V.


If the resistance of the shunt field is 50 Ω, of the series field 0.025 Ω, of the armature
0.05 Ω, the total brush drop is 2 V and the iron and friction losses amount to 1 kW, find
(a) the generated e.m.f. (b) the copper losses (c) the output power of the prime-mover
driving the generator, and (d) the generator efficiency.

7. A 20 kW, 440-V, short-shunt, compound d.c. generator has a full-load efficiency of 87%.
If the resistance of the armature and interpoles is 0.4 Ω and that of the series and shunt
fields 0.25 Ω and 240 Ω respectively, calculate the combined bearing friction, windage
and core-loss of the machine.

8. A long-shunt, compound generator delivers a load current of 50 A at 500 V and the


resistances of armature, series field and shunt field are 0.05 Ω and 250 Ω respectively.
Calculate the generated electromotive force and the armature current. Allow 1.0 V per
brush for contact drop.
9. In a 110-V compound generator, the resistances of the armature, shunt and the series
windings are 0.06 Ω, 25 Ω, and 0.04 Ω respectively. The load consists of 200 lamps
each rated at 55 W, 110 V. Find the total electromotive force and the armature current
when the machine is connected (a) long shunt (b) short shunt. Ignore armature reaction
and brush drop.

10. Armature of a 2-pole, 200-V generator has 400 conductors and runs at 300 r.p.m.
Calculate the useful flux per pole. If the number of turns in each field coil is 1,200, what
is the average value of e.m.f. induced in each coil on breaking the field if the flux dies
away completely in 0.1 sec?
Hint: Calculate the flux per pole generating 200 V at 300 r.p.m. Calculate the
e.m.f. induced 1,200-turn field coil due to this flux reducing to zero in 0.1 sec,
from the rate of change of flux-linkage.
