Find the induced e.m.f. and the armature current when the machine is connected as (i) long-shunt and as (ii) short-shunt. How will the ampere-turns of the series field be changed in (i) if a diverter of 0.1 be connected in parallel with the series winding? Neglect brush contact drop and ignore armature reaction. A 4-pole, d.c. shunt generator with a shunt field resistance of 100 and an armature resistance of 1 has 378 wave-connected conductors in its armature. The flux per pole is 0.02 Wb. If a load resistance of 10 is connected across the armature terminals and the generator is driven at 1000 r.p.m, calculate the power absorbed by the load. A 6-pole dc generator runs at 1200 r.p.m on no-load and has a generated e.m.f of 250 V. Its armature diameter is 350 mm and radial air-gap between the field poles and the armature is 3mm.

Also, find the load current corresponding to maximum efficiency. A 4-pole d.c. generator is delivering 20 A to a load of 10 . If the armature resistance is 0.5 and the shunt field resistance is 50 , calculate the induced e.m.f. and the efficiency of the machine. Allow a drop of 1 V per brush. A d.c. shunt generator has a full load output of 10 kW at a terminal voltage of 240 V. The armature and the shunt field winding resistances are 0.6 and 160 respectively. The sum of the mechanical and core-losses is 500 W. Calculate the power required, in kW, at the driving shaft at full load, and the corresponding efficiency. A 440 V, shunt motor has armature resistance of 0.8 and field resistance of 200 . Determine the back e.m.f when giving an output of 7.46 kW at 85 percent efficiency.
