Electrical Machines

  1. A 220 V, DC shunt motor is operating at a speed of 1440 rpm. The armature resistance is 1.0 Ω and armature current is 10 A. If the excitation of the machine is reduced by 10%, the extra resistance to be put in the armature circuit to maintain the same speed and torque will be
    1. 1.79 Ω
    2. 2.1 Ω
    3. 3.1 Ω
    4. 18.9 Ω
Correct Option: A

Ia1 = 10
Now flux is decreased by 10%, so φ2 = 0.9 φ1
Torque is constant, & T = kT φ Ia
Then, Ia1 φ1 = I a2 φ2

⇒ Ia2 =
10
= 11.11 A
0.9

Now , N ∝

220 - Ia2 (r1 + R)φ1

∴ 1 =
210 × 0.9
220 - 11.11 (1 + R)

⇒ 1 + R = 2.79
⇒ R = 1.79 Ω
