A 250 V dc shunt machine has armature circuit resistance of 0.6 Ω. and field circuit resistance of 125 Ω. The machine is connected to 250 V supply mains. The motor is operated as a generator and then as a motor separately. The line current of the machine in both the cases is 50 A. The ratio of the speed as a generator to the speed as a motor is ___.

Correct Option: A
When running as a motor,
If = | = 2 A | |
125 |
Em = Vt – Ia ra
= 250 – 48 × 0.6 = 221.2 Volt
When running as a generator,

Eg = 52 × 0.6 + 250
= 281.2 Volt
Now, As , E = | ![]() | ![]() | ||||
60 | A |
Then | = | [φ remain constant] | ||
Eg | ng |
Ratio of generator to motor speed,
⇒ | = | = 1.271 | ||
