ASSIGNMENT 1

Due Date: 14th October 2023

Prepared by Dr. Eng. Lukumba Phiri, 2023


QUESTION 1
A 25 kW, 120 V, 1800 rpm separately excited generator is delivering rated current. The stray losses
of the generator are found from test to be 1.5% of the rated output. The total core, friction, and
windage losses are 2.0% of rated output. Racir =0.0280. Neglect the losses of the field circuit.
Assume graphite brushes.
a.) Find the power in HP that the prime mover must develop at rated speed to drive the generator
b.) Find the efficiency of the machine operating at rated load.
c.) Find the efficiency of the machine when operating at 0% 25%, 50% and 75% of rated output.
Assume that rated terminal voltage is maintained at the generator output as the load varies.
d.) Plot the % efficiency vs the % load and comment on the result

QUESTION 2
A separately excited dc motor is rated at 100 HP, 600 V at 1200 rpm. The total armature resistance
is 0.24 ohms. When the motor is delivering 75 HP at 1200 rpm its efficiency is 88%. At the 75 HP
output find:
a.) the motor armature current
b.) counter emf (Ea)
c.) torque at the shaft
d.) an estimate of the mechanical losses.

QUESTION 3
A 200 volt shunt motor is rated a 5 HP and 1000 rpm. At rated output it draws 25 A of line current.
The total armature circuit resistance is 0.5 ohms. The field resistance is 100 ohms
a.) find the total rotational losses of the motor at rated
conditions
b.) Find the no load speed of the motor at 200 volts

QUESTION 4
A 15 hp 230 V, 1750 rpm shunt motor has a terminal current of 56.2 A when delivering rated
power at rated speed. The total armature circuit resistance, Ra, is 0.28 ohms and the field
resistance, Rf, is 137 ohms. Compute:
a) rated torque at the shaft (N-m)

b) armature current for a locked rotor
c) the value of external resistance required to limit Ia and developed torque to 200% of
rated.
d) the locked rotor torque when the terminal voltage drops to 215 V and the starting resistor
is used to limit the armature current.:
